Comment (by ram at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:2 jochen at macports.org]:
 > No specific error, but for one I don't want g95 on my system at all, and
 second I am not sure it is safe to mix these Fortran compilers, esp. when
 they are form different GCC versions.

 The numpy ports don't depend on g95 any more, as officially numpy does not
 support g95 under Mac OS X:

 http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-user/2008-January/015300.html

 I installed numpy-1.0.4 using gfortran from gcc42 and compared that to
 using gcc43 and specifiying no fortran compiler. I couldn't find any
 differences. Also scipy builds (and passes the test suite), with gcc42 and
 gcc43, against numpy built without a fortran compiler. I haven't tested
 for any differences in the installed product with numpy-1.1.0 - but scipy
 passes the test suite.

 Its a good point about mixing of compiler versions, I have never had any
 problems though.

 I can re-add the fortran variants to numpy if you would be happier.
