The /usr/pkg/gcc3/bin/gcc is from a binary download site for Solaris/SPARC:

     BINPKG_SITES=http://sunpkg.de/packages/SunOS-5.9-sparc

So maybe they used the one from sunfreeware.  Not sure.

I tried doing what you suggested but the "make upgrade" part fails:

% bmake upgrade
bmake: don't know how to make upgrade. Stop

bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/gcc3-c

The first part of your suggestion (make && make upgrade)  worked just fine, in 
that it built a gcc.

Although at this point I think it might not work anyway since my pkg_install is 
broken as well.  I did a "bmake replace" on it, and of course it removed the 
original pack first and then the build for it failed (something about O_RDONLY 
not being found).  Wonder if that would give me the error I'm seeing with doing 
a "bmake upgrade".
