There are issues with gcc4 still probably, but you aren't obligated to
use it.  AFAIK, no port has officially switched to gcc4 yet.

That said, there has been a lot of activity on HEAD recently.  gcc
3.3.6, timecounters, sendmail removal, and kauth have all gone in
recently.  I don't think any of these have gone entirely without
hitches, but you wouldn't expect that, would you?  I wouldn't
necessarily recommend upgrading a production to -current now, but that's
the nature of -current, isn't it?

All that said, I've not had any seriously bad breakage on *my* systems
with -current, but I tend to work more with embedded MIPS hw so YMMV.

OTOH, there is the netbsd-3 branch which should be a lot more stable. 
IIUC, we're about ready to tag a 3.0.1 branch.
