    There's lang/gcc3 and lang/gcc34. The vast majority of the packages
    should work just fine with a gcc3 compiler.

    cd pkgsrc/lang/gcc
    bmake install

    Then set PKGSRC_COMPILER in /etc/mk.conf and/or include the appropriate mk
    bit (the package should display a message on installation which one that
    would be).

    But I'm not quite sure why you have a chicken-egg problem: you say you
    have a compiler installed. You should therefor be able to install
    everything from pkgsrc as you see fit without the ned of installing
    another compiler (which, of course, you can still do if you like).
