I'm not having any problem with gcc 4.5 on MacOS X (also using macports).  I'm 
also using GNU sed 4.2.2, but mine is called "gsed"

$ gsed --version
gsed (GNU sed) 4.2.2

I tested the command that is failing for you.

$ /opt/local/bin/gsed -e "" < derfc.in.f > derfc.f-t
$ ls -l derfc.f-t
-rw-r--r--  1 bpabbott  staff  13007 Mar  4 08:28 derfc.f-t

I also tried using Apple's sed.  They gave identical results.

Sorry I'm  not much help.  Any idea where your "/opt/local/bin/sed" came from?  
Which Macports port?  or is it a symbolic link?
