There is a plugin available that will configure and install gfortran  
(F77, F90, F95) for both cli and XCode available from the good people  
at MacResearch.
http://www.macresearch.org/xcode_gfortran_plugin_update
It has at least one documented bug but I have used it quite  
successfully.

You can also get the compiler without plugin from the HPC site at  
SourceForge
http://hpc.sourceforge.net/
The HPC page also has links to binaries for g77 if you expect to only  
need to deal with legacy code.
