You don't want to do that. It'll break building the system. The
commands installed in /usr/local/bin will use the correct libraries
and include files. Just use those. You can just symlink gcc32 to cc in
/usr/local/bin, and make sure that /usr/local/bin is in front of
/usr/bin in your path. Things that use cc will use gcc32, and
everything will work pretty much like you want.

If you're willing to run code on a development branch - which means
it's more likely to fail in strange ways, and there'll be less help
available when it does - you can upgrade to FreeBSD 5.0, which uses
gcc3 in place of 2.95.
