The way I've always used gcc to compile ports is to use the USE_GCC=any flag.

Don't put that unconditionally in make.conf however, or you will break
everything because of circular dependencies; either use something
like:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/category/port}
USE_GCC=any
.endif

or use it on the command line.

Don't forget to make clean first.
