The GCC available from ports can be installed "next to" the GCC
that comes with the system which, by the way, is 4.2.1 in
FreeBSD 7.

	% cc -v
	Using built-in specs.
	Target: i386-undermydesk-freebsd
	Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
	Thread model: posix
	gcc version 4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD]

If you need to install GCC of another version (e. g. 4.4), you
can install it from the ports collection (e. g. lang/gcc44). If
I remeber correctly, it is called as gcc44 then instead of cc / gcc.
