is it a good idea to overwrite GCC_DEFAULT_VERSION= in Mk/bsd.gcc.mk?

Isn't it built with the system default compiler:

configure:3954: checking for C compiler version
configure:3963: cc --version >&5
cc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]

I think we are only talking about updating lang/gcc to 4.7.
