Correcting a little slip on my part:

I believe you would have to adjust PATH, but notice that gcc packages seem to be installed to a subdirectory of /usr/pkg, like /usr/pkg/gcc5 or /usr/pkg/gcc5-aux : not part of the normal PATH.  You would have to put /usr/pkg/gcc5-aux/bin, or /usr/pkg/gcc5/bin , etc, as the case may be, at the front of the PATH, ahead or /usr/bin .
