In /usr/bin, a standard install of Xcode will install the compilers gcc-4.0 and gcc-4.2, and a symlink gcc. On Leopard, that symlink will point to gcc-4.0, while on Snow Leopard, it will point to gcc-4.2.

MacPorts doesn't install anything in /usr/bin. If you install a gcc port with MacPorts, you'll get additional compilers in the MacPorts prefix, usually /opt/local.
