Why should this not work? 

If gcc-3.3 is the default compiler, gcj will point to gcj-3.3 
and libgcj-dev will point to libgcj4-dev.
If gcc-4.0 is the default compiler, gcj will point to gcj-4.0
and libgcj-dev will point to libgcj6-dev.
The gcc-defaults package will take care of this.

Currently the ppc64 architecture uses gcc-4.0 as the default compiler
while the other architectures still use gcc-3.3.

If a package uses 'libgcj-dev' instead of 'libgcj4-dev', 
it will build in both cases.
