Yes, the gfortran and java variants are conflicting. Pre-release versions of the gcc ports have always had this restriction, though there is no need for it. I submitted a patch three years ago to fix it but the maintainer declined to apply it:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16410

But as you noticed gfortran doesn't work with gcc46 anyway right now:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30166

Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the the maintainer of the port has not updated it to the final version. (Final-version gcc ports have always included gfortran and java support before, and for gcc46 that seems not to be possible right now.)
