This is what I ended up doing, since the MacPorts flavours just  
weren't working for
me. I installed g77 and then made a symbolic link f77 -> g77. I now have
the source of the project compiling, but the linking seems to be  
failing.

Any help would be appreciated, since I am a total newbie when it comes
to Fortran and compiling Fortran applications. I am actually trying to
help out a friend who needs this tool. The application is 'Curves':
