Currently, if I'm not wrong AC_CHECK_SIZEOF checks for C, as it
uses _AC_COMPUTE_INT([(long int) (sizeof ($1))].
This wont work for fortran and even less in a fortran only environment.

I don't know for sure what to do, but I made a macro that checks for
fortran type length. I called it AC_FC_CHECK_SIZEOF and AC_F77_CHECK_SIZEOF.
I tried to mimick the code I found in other autoconf macros.
My trick is rather complicated and fragile, but I had no better idea. It is
unsuitable for cross compiling as it uses AC_RUN_IFELSE. It doesn't
check first that the type is a valid type, but I am not sure that this
is an issue.
Basically it writes to a binary file, using the binary representation, a 1 in
a variable with the checked type, surrounded by 2 'a'. After that it reread
the file and computes the distance between the 2 'a'. Then it writes the
result in another file. It will fail if there is a 'a' in binary format in
the binary headers of the binary file, if there is a 'a' or a newline in the
binary representation of 1 for a given type. There might be better solutions...

# _AC_FC_CHECK_SIZEOF (TYPE, [IGNORED], [INCLUDES = DEFAULT-INCLUDES])
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Determine the size of types for the Fortran.
# First the binary representation of TYPE is written to conftest.unf between
# two a. After that conftest.unf is reread and the distance between 2 'a' gives
# the type length. In the end the detected size is put in conftest.res.
#
# It will fail if there is a 'a' in binary format in the header of
# conftest.unf, if there is a 'a' or a newline in the binary representation.
