Correct me if I am wrong here: If you run "(sudo) gcc_select gfortran-mp-XY", where XY are the version numbers (e.g. 45 for gfortran 4.5), you should get symbolic links for the selected gcc/gfortran version. I believe that macports should probably make this clearer, and perhaps automatically when you do a "port install gccXY", but I am not sure if this needs any patching? Again, I might be wrong on this.

Cheers
Paul.
