Far.  I am only dealing with gcc3 as it applies to porting to new
architectures.  My thrust, means I do not plan on making libstdc++ build at
this point -- thus no usable C++.

Unfortunately I have put a *lot* of work into this behind the scenes
(many commits into the FSF CVS repo).  It has also given the Illusion
that I am still maintaining GCC for the FreeBSD Project.

That said, I believe the x86 people can wait a little bit longer and let
the Sparc64, IA-64, and x86_64 platforms drive this.  i386 has a usable
compiler and can wait 2 more months (when 3.1.0 is actually released).
And are people really that anxious to to thru the C++ ABI hell that GCC
3.1 will bring us?  Think of all those GNOME and KDE ports that will be
out of sync.

For those that cannot wait, there is the gcc-devel port (very soon to be
gcc31 port).
