We are in a code slush for preparation of RELENG_6 right now, since GCC 4.x import would involve a large scale code modification (some of our code would not compile on gcc 4.x since it is more picky than 3.x series, and some of gcc 3.x features has been removed since they are not ISO C/C++ and certain part of our code has utilized these features), and causes performance degradation on i386 architecture, I don't think we will import gcc 4.x in FreeBSD 6.x. Help on making FreeBSD compile on newer compiler(s) and clean up the code base is always appreciated, of course :-) Meantime you would be able to get latest GCC 4.x from our ports collection.
