I'm not surprised gcc40 is failing to install. All ports that depend on gcc40 should be updated to depend on gcc42. I've been saying this for months. Please file bugs against any remaining ports which still depend on gcc40, and be sure to Cc those ports' maintainers, so that they can be updated. For unmaintained ports, please alert this list.

The last paragraph in the issue description is one ​written by me on macports-users.

grads does not depend on gcc40. grads depends on libnc-dap which depends on gcc40. Cc'ing maintainer of libnc-dap and closing as duplicate of #12253.
