Not really. I thought of installing gcc 5.1 through its binary package and it tried to install gcc-ecj 4.5 along with it. I ended up installing it through the ports system, disabling Java support.
Its ports are where FreeBSD really shines. They're something in between Arch's ABS and Gentoo's portage. I just wish there was someway to say "install binutils via pkg, and only compile gcc itself".
