I would expect that you'll want to have a symlink from f77 to
g77 in /usr/bin.  If g77 includes a man page, you'll also want
a symlink from f77.1 to g77.1.

In the Makefile for the port of my f77 wrapper I have:

do-install:
   ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/f77 ${PREFIX}/bin
   ${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/f77.1 ${PREFIX}/man/man1

This could be changed to:

do-install:
   ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/f77 ${PREFIX}/bin/${F77NAME}     
   ${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/f77.1 ${PREFIX}/man/man1/${F77NAME}.1     

where F77NAME would default to fc.  Why fc?  Because, f2c provides
an old Bourne shell script of the same name.
