Because USE_GCC adds a dependency to every port that is built.  If you
set USE_GCC=3.3 and try to build the gcc33 port, what do you think
will happen?  If you set USE_GCC=3.3 and try to build the openoffice
port, but don't yet have gcc3.3 installed, what do you think will
happen?

User control variables are called WITH_* and WITHOUT_*.  HAVE_ and
USE_ are reserved namespaces.
