GMT should be updated to use a newer netCDF. :-)

What's going on should be OK, though.  This is standard practice in Fink 
to avoid breaking packages when updating libraries.

gmt, in installing "netcdf", has uninstalled the C and C++ header 
packages from netCDF-4.2 (netcdf-c7 and netcdf-cxx4 respectively) but 
not the libraries (the corresponding -shlibs packages), in favor of the 
headers from netCDF-3.6.3.  Once it's installed, you're free to remove 
"netcdf", because that contains no files that are needed at run time, 
and similarly installing netcdf-c7 and netcdf-cxx4 shouldn't affect 
anything you have currently built.

The various -shlibs packages which contain the libraries can and do 
coexist.
