Welp, that's unintended. In cases like these, I imagined portfile
authors would override and add their own default variant. I'm a little
busy now, so if someone feels encouraged they can add it back.

A longer term fix would be to test for gcc49 and work backwards to
gcc48, etc.

Is there a reason why +gfortran was left out?
