So, when I try "gcc - version " will output correctly?
No, you need to put /usr/sfw/bin (without /gcc) in your PATH.
The PATH variable is a list of directories where the shell looks for executables. /usr/sfw/bin/gcc is an executable, not a directory.

In general, how do you install package correctly ?
Under Solaris, the command is "pkgadd " with various options.

say if gcc (any package) was not installed. Where would you install it ?
Don't confuse the temporary location where you download the package file and the location where the package files are deployed. The former is some temporary directory your can safely remove after the operation while the latter is (usually) hard-coded by the package creator.
Quote:
Would you not create folder, unzip it and then run package from there ?
No, and that is the problem you had. Don't create any target directory. The pkgadd command will do it for you. And don't create temporary directories in locations that belong to the OS, like /usr.
Use /tmp, /var/tmp, your home directory or top level non standard directories (eg: /software) for your temporary files.

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)
NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
/bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
/usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
