I know exactly what is in the port Makefile right now and how 'gfortran'
is built.

No, GCC also has an external dependancy -- libiconv. We also have a
configure arg for it: --with-libiconv-prefix=${LOCALBASE}.

I see no reason why it cannot be obsolated today. I have 7 years of
experience with the compilers in FreeBSD and I can tell you that there
have been multiple attempts to remove FORTRAN from both the base system
and GCC ports. All landed many emails in my inbox. There are many
scitenfic FreeBSD users that expect FORTRAN to be included. Many (most?)
don't want to spend the time building a custom version of GCC just to get
FORTRAN vs. adding the pre-built package.
