Not for me!
I very much prefer gfortran over g95 for various reasons --
performance and political ones.
Why don't you create variants for either fortran compiler, or use
the one that is already installed?
Also, gcc42 seems to be the de facto choice for a fortran compiler
for almost every other port:
> grep depends `grep -rl fortran */*/Portfile`|grep gcc42
graphics/pgplot/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:gcc42
lang/gcc42/Portfile:depends_lib port:gmp port:mpfr port:libiconv
lang/gcc42/Portfile: depends_lib-append bin:odas:odcctools
math/R/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:gcc42
math/arpack/Portfile:depends_build port:gcc42
math/octave-forge/Portfile: depends_lib-append
port:gcc42
math/octave/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:gcc42
science/libnc-dap/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:gcc42
science/openmpi/Portfile: depends_build port:gcc42
> grep depends `grep -rl fortran */*/Portfile`|grep g95
math/fftw-3/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:g95
math/octave-forge/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:g95
math/octave/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:g95
science/libnc-dap/Portfile: depends_lib-append port:g95
In the ports that use g95 it is used as a variant. Perhaps one
fortran compiler should be the "*officially* recommended fortran
compiler," while the others can be made available in variants. I'd
vote for gcc42 to provide the official fortran compiler, since it's
already the de facto standard, plus---as Jochen writes---there are
performance and political reasons to favor gcc42.
