No. The /bin/ld shipped with FreeBSD is a severely hacked version of
an ancient, apocryphal GNU ld. I've recently been invited to bring
GNU ld up to current FreeBSD spec, but that's not really my cup of
tea. ;^) Fortunately, the standard one seems to work pretty well.
If you're attempting to use GCC 2.7.x, you *will* need to update gas,
but you can still use the standard ld.
