By going to gnuada.sf.net - I prepared a disk image with a working 
compiler in the download area [1] (intel only .-( ) and the Portfile 
inside Subversion [2]. The Portfile is CPU independed as it downloads 
the source files and compiles them for you.

So, how would I go about it?

1) get the Portfile from subversion.
2) use the old 10.4.11 compiler to create a new 10.4.11 compiler.
3) pack the compiler into a dmg (port dmg gcc43)
4) install the dmg on the 10.5.5 system
5) use the new 10.4.11 compiler to create a 10.5.5 compiler.
6) create a dmg and upload it to gnuada.sf.net for the good of all

You might also need:

0) join the gnuada.sf.net team.

As for MacPorts - I created a ticket to have the build file updated [3]. 
But als allways with upstream patches - they move slowly...
