Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 I agree with the points here.[[BR]]
 pgplot now uses g95 by default and the user can choose gfortran 4.2 or 4.3
 through variants.

 It seems to me, however, that these types of changes must be done on a
 port by port basis.[[BR]]
 I am not sure how a PortGroup could be constructed to be general enough
 for all the ports which use Fortran.

 Unless someone has a better idea, I humbly suggest that this ticket be
 closed as "wontfix."
