For a port you would use

  USE_GCC=3.3

which will install gcc and set CC=gcc33 CXX=g++33 automatically. Also

  USE_GMAKE

tells the port to use gmake for building. If you you Makefile has a
non-standard name, use MAKEFILE=Makefile.FreeBSD (actually a bug, it
should be MAKE_FILE). -pthread should be PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS.

Some more variables can be found in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.
