What version of FreeBSD are you running? There are several versions of gcc in 
the ports (/usr/ports/lang). If they won't build, you probably need to 
upgrade your sys/kernel or at least rebuild them. You could also download a 
package. Downloading a version outside the FreeBSD ports/packages is not 
recommended and your mileage may definitely vary. Please post your compile 
errors so we can see what's going on. Also post the output from uname -a
