$PREFIX/etc/mk.conf won't help you here, you need to include
gcc-3.2.1.mk from /etc/mk.conf.

I've built a bunch of packages on NetBSD and Solaris with gcc3. There
are some outstanding problems, and I believe Johnny is working on
having gcc2 and gcc3 handled correctly by buildlink2. This should
solve the remaining issues (I think the killer was shared libstdc++).
