g95-4.2 has gcc-4.2 as a prereq -- in our terms, a "dependency". If you take a look at where gcc-4.2 is installed, and how it's named, using pkg_info(1) as above, you will see that gcc-4.2's main executable is /usr/local/bin/egcc. It is named egcc to avoid any confusion with the built-in gcc, cc, g++ ... executable components included in the comp*.tgz file set during install.

You will not use the 4.2 version of gcc to build any OS components or 3rd party ports unless you are both knowledgeable about the OpenBSD make system and jump through hoops to alter its operation. And then, you will eliminate security features included in OpenBSD's version of gcc which are not in gcc-4.2, assuming you get usable binary output ... which is unlikely.

Whatever problem you are having is not due to installing g95. My guess is that you have not taken sufficient time to read through FAQ 5 and FAQ 15 in sufficient detail.
