No it is not, at least not in your configuration: g95 cannot build
universal binaries, and I think the OP error is caused by this.
Gfortran is certainly supported.

I don't know about fink and darwin ports, but the gfortran compiler available at

http://r.research.att.com/tools/

is the recommended one.
