I'm fairly sure that gcc-3.1 won't compile the world correctly on 4-STABLE. By all means install 3.1 as a second compiler, but keep the old version around too. Of course, 5-CURRENT has gcc-3.x as the default compiler. If you're a bleeding-edge fanatic, you could take a look at the developer preview. Be warned that it might be even closer to the edge than you could cope with though.
