And the ports install binaries by default in ...... bingo /usr/local/bin

What you which(1) tell is that /usr/bin is the first and /usr/local/bin
in after it in in your shell's PATH.

So try /usr/local/bin/gcc -v

Note that it is not a good idea to over-write you system's gcc, as in
FreeBSD there is a very tight integration between the compiler and the
system. Some of the gcc ports provide a knob to install over "base" gcc
and probably they are tested to work, I don't know.

 % /usr/bin/gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 [FreeBSD] 20031106
