Comment(by jcharris@…):

 Perhaps I was not clear -- I am not suggesting forcing any Fortran
 compiler to be added to any variant.  Rather, as far as I can tell, no
 variants of openmpi exist (as that Portfile is written currently) where
 Fortran would not be installed, so the only "extra" would be the Fortran
 bindings for a very useful package.  If someone is using +openmpi, they
 already have some version of Fortran installed!

 If you seriously oppose removing the --disable-f77 and --disable-f90 flags
 from the +openmpi variant, could at least a comment be added to this
 effect in the Portfile?  It took several hours of searching to figure out
 a potential solution, and I am sure the next person that comes along would
 appreciate having that time saved.  A more consistent objection along your
 reasoning would be to have an +enable-fortran variant, and to keep Fortran
 disabled for the +gcc4* variants, which would also make it clear for
 newcomers to MacPorts how to proceed.
