It should work (now). Success or failure reports are welcome :-)
I also have an update for lang/gcc which is not yet committed (it
needs some tidying up for NetBSD).

I don't think this is the right approach - I believe users should be
able to have multiple versions of gcc (or any other compiler)
installed and choose which they want to use via a make variable.
If the compiler and pkgsrc DTRT, this should not be a problem at all.
