It's hard (and definitely beyond my expertise) because the intel
Fortran compiler needs to link with linux libraries, supplied by
Intel, unlike the c compiler which can link with the system C library.

I haven't made a port of the fortran compiler (linux binaries), as
promised, mainly because of laziness; also because feedback on the
list suggested people are more interested in native binaries.  David
O'Brien suggested (on Feb 1) that it's possible, and he'd done it for
the Compaq Alpha compilers.  

I could still do a port, but I've done strange things to my
/compat/linux in the meantime (mounted a linux partition there, and
it's not Red Hat) so I'm not sure I can test a port adequately.
Meanwhile my instructions on how to get it working are on 
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1689291+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-ports/20020127.freebsd-ports
with corrections/simplifications on one or two followup postings.
