It's not supplied as a separate package as such, but integrated into the system sources. See for instance: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/gcc/ ie. You get gcc as a standard part of what's install from disc1 or =66rom the mini-iso disk images. Note that the version of gcc supplied depends on which version of the OS you choose. FreeBSD 4.x (either -STABLE or any of the recent -RELEASE versions) comes with gcc 2.95.4, whereas FreeBSD-5.x comes with gcc-3.2.2. You can always install a more recent version of gcc from the ports collection: eg. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/lang/gcc32/pkg-descr --- there are several version available in ports including the bleeding edge gcc-3.3 development version. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html for an explanation of how ports/packages work and how you can use them to install software. However, most ports / packages are not included in the FreeBSD iso images available to download. If you purchase a 4xCD set from FreeBSDMall or DaemonNews CDs 3 and 4 will consist of precompiled packages you can install.
