FWIW, on the machine on which I'm writing this note, I successfully
performed an:

        Upgrade of gcc-4.6.4.20120608 to gcc-4.6.4.20120817

yesterday without incident (using portmaster).

The machine is now running:

FreeBSD albert.catwhisker.org 8.3-STABLE FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #560 239646M: Fri Aug 24 04:21:00 PDT 2012     root at freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/ALBERT  i386

(and had been updated to that just prior to the portmaster run).

The ports tree is maintained as an SVN working copy; it was @303183
as of the time of the update in question.

Peace,
david
