Well, I would certainly recommend that you 1) play with an already
ported version of g++ on some other machine in order to get some
feel for what you'd be getting if you do port g++ to your machine.
2) check out, and maybe verify with a lawyer that the Gnu copyleft
restrictions don't negatively impact the way you do business.
3) talk to someone who has done a g++ port to get a feel for what
is involved.

I've used both the AT&T and Gnu products, and they both have their
advantages and disadvantages.
