Those instructions refer only to using it in building packages until it's 
integrated into pkgsrc/mk/compiler/gcc.mk. You may use this gcc.mk:

http://www.johnrshannon.com/NetBSD/gcc.mk.gz

and select it by defining:

GCC_REQD+=3.4

in you mk.conf file.

Outside of pkgsrc, it's sufficient to define you PATH so that /usr/pkg/gcc34 
is searched before /usr/bin.

I'm sorry about any confusion my instructions may have caused.
