Because someone forced you to use it, see lang/gcc46/Makefile:

# Determine whether to use binutils
.if ${OPSYS} == "SunOS"
CONFIGURE_ENV+=         OBJDUMP=/usr/sfw/bin/gobjdump
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
. if !exists(/usr/sfw/bin/gas)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
. else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas
. endif
.endif

Someone (i.e. someone with more knowledge about either assembler or TLS 
than me) should probably take this upstream. Although this is a GNU 
project, unconditionally confining it to one assembler is a little bit 
shortsighted.
