Hi, For the science/root port, the reason the port provides variants to use various gcc (and clang) compilers is not really because of fortran. ROOT provides an interactive build environment, and that environment is based on the compiler used to build ROOT. As such the user might have a reason to want a particular compiler, so the port provides various options to allow this. So for this port, I don't think changing anything makes sense.
cheers Chris
