In the base system, yes.  That's the latest that can be included there
for licensing reasons.

You will need 4.9 from ports to be able to compile most ports.  But you
will need to disable the default which has moved past 4.9.

In Mk/bsd.defaults.mk, use the following change:

  GCC_DEFAULT?=  4.9

(Sorry, I cannot paste the correct patch from here.)

The last time I tried to compile 4.9 I had no problem.  You can find
out what your current default is with gcc --version.  It should say
4.2.1.

If you get stuck, I can show you how to download the gcc4.9 package.
