Yes, there is gcc 4.3.2 in the /legacy repo, it is just imported
from the pkg.opensolaris.org/dev repo and broken (see
http://moinakg.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/step-0-to-next-belenix/
for the details).

There is an experimental package of gcc 4.5.2 in the
spec-files-extra project (see
http://pkgbuild.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk/SFEgcc.spec?revision=3193&view=markup)
However, you would have to build it yourself, see
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+SFE+Packages on how to do
that. We are working on setting up an IPS repo with selected SFE
packages such as gcc.
