I have a private (hacked version) of openmotif3 which builds 64bit.
There are only a few changes needed:

However, this will break any other package which builds/links against
openmotif3!
I will try come up with a proper package for it and send it to the
maintainer (cc'd). But I have no estimate on when I will find time to
do it.
Concerning gfortran: I successfully built 64bit code with the current
gcc42 package in fink. The 64bit libraries are at /sw/lib/gcc4.2/lib/
x86_64/
