No, you can always build another version of gcc which will happily
co-exist with the stock gcc/cc that comes with any FreeBSD
distribution (just don't try to build a kernel with the newer
version).
I would suggest the following:
- get the latest version of gcc (2.7.2.1)
- apply the "repo-bsd" patch if you want to do c++ projects
(location: "ftp://ftp.cst.com.au/pub/gcc-2.7.2-repo-bsd.gz")
- build and install the new version of gcc/g++ (it goes into
"/usr/local" by default). Use the stock gcc/cc compiler for
this step.
- if you want to do c++ projects
o get the latest version of libg++ (2.7.2)
o build and install the libg++ package (it also goes into
"/usr/local" by default). Use the new gcc/g++ compiler
for this step.
