Ports don't overwrite the base system. The system gcc is installed
in /usr/bin, any port-installed gcc will end up somewhere in /usr/local.
I expected to see them in /usr/local/bin, but the gcc-OOo port (for
example) ends up in /usr/local/gcc-ooo
To get it used, you'll need to tell make which one to use. I believe
the magic incantation is to acc "CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc33" to
/etc/make.conf, but I'm not positive. A google search should find the
correct way to accomplish that, however.

We meddle. People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do,
what to think. Don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their
heads and we haven't the right.
