BTW, in the /opt/local/bin directory, I can find gcc-mp-4.8 and gfortran-mp-4.8, instead of gcc and gfortran. I am not sure if this is correct.

That is correct. The executables are named that way to allow different versions of GCC to be installed simultaneously. You could just run those executables directly.

If you can't or won't do that, you can run "sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc48" to create /opt/local/bin/{gcc,gfortran}, which will be symlinks to the actual executables.
