Yes, there are ports for both which you can install. For GCC,
the binary will be called gcc or gccXY (where XY is the version),
and GNU make will be called gmake. It will not conflict with
system tools.

You should be able to use SimH included in the ports collection,
which is fully compatible with FreeBSD's ports infrastructure
(so "make install" will work - and install every dependency needed
to do so). Or install via pkg. :-)
