It looks like you're right.  When I grab the newer version, I don't have
the bzlib problem.  Thanks!

You were correct.  My macports installed an alternate version of gcc
into the /usr/local/bin, which was first in my path.  After some
googling, I was able to lightly modify a file in the CoreFoundation
framework that allowed me to make progress (as per this description:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44981), but then I ran into
a few more errors down the road. 

So I just tried starting over the whole thing with the different version
of gcc (the mac version), and everything works fine.  Thanks, Matt!
