pkg update updates the whole system. There is AFAIK no way to just one 
package. We also have a aproach to updating that differs from other 
OSes. We have so called boot environments. Everytime you update the 
system you infact clone the runing boot environment and update that. You 
never update the running system. This makes updates atomic and adds the 
ability to roll back in case of problems. have a look at bootadm manpage 
if you want to know more.

GCC and other development tools are available via build-essential. 
However /dev does not seem to have those available.

You are not running the newest version of OI. Due to resource shortage 
the newest version, called /hipster, is rolling release. /dev is the 
last non rolling release version.

If you want to upgrade from /dev to /hipster have a look in this wiki page.

If you have more question feel free to ask.
