Upgrade to Sierra from Mavericks

[David Strubbe]

Can you explain more what you mean by this?

1) The lack of a gfortran meant that install errors were found using the
restore_ports.tcl script.

I don't think there should be any port which tries to build using an
executable called "gfortran". A port such as gcc49 installs gfortran-mp-4.9.
