/me assumes 4.3.0 from http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/changes.html

You will definitely want to check KDE and GNOME as that should cover a lot of 
bases. Most packages will work fine and only a few have patches for 4.x, 
which should probably be checked:
/audio-creation/hydrogen/gcc4.patch
./audio-libs/openal/gcc42.patch
./audio-libs/sidplay-libs/gcc4.patch
./audio-players/timidity/gcc4.x.patch
./devel/indent/gcc-4.0-indent.h.patch
./disk/arson/gcc41.patch
./gnome1-libs/eel/gcc-fixes.patch
./http/mozilla/gcc4.patch
./spelling/babytrans/gcc-fix.patch
./utils/kbd/gcc4_fix.patch
./video/alevt/gcc-4.0.patch
./video/cinelerra/gcc41.patch
./video/flxine/gcc-4.0.patch

How goes the testing so far?
