Emacs 24 uses the machine interface (MI) to talk to GDB. I don't think
GDB 6.3 has support for MI.
You can simply call Emacs' gdb function (M-x gdb) with the complete
path to your (newer) GDB installation (macports typically calls it
"ggdb" - /opt/bin/ggdb)
(gdb "/opt/bin/ggdb -i=mi [[ rest of the gdb command line ]]")
Note that -i=mi is what asks GDB to output MI commands that Emacs recognizes.
