Ask them if they can install the port for gcc 3.4, it is in the 
portsystem and they dont have to remove the system gcc. They can use 
them both at the same time. Its just a matter for you then to use the 
right gcc. When they install it through the port it will be in 
/usr/local/bin/gcc34 and thus not intefer with the system gcc that is in 
/usr/bin/gcc

I hope you can convince them to do this.
