In the bin-distribution of FreeBSD 2.2 and FreeBSD-current.
Just install one of those releases and type g++ --version.
To install have a look in www.FreeBSD.org.

You need the bin-directory on CD-ROM. In it there is an install.sh.
Source it in. "cd wherever_it_is/bin ; . install.sh" and see what 
happens! (the bin-directory is about 35 MBytes, you better back-up
your /etc Directory since installing /bin will overwrite it. After
installing switch to the saved /etc.

Don't know, may be you check the mailinglist archives at the FreeBSD-site?
