The GNU Fortran frontend (g77) is part of the newer GNU compiler (formerly known as EGCS) together with C, C++, Objective C, javac, guave (?) ... So it is possibly not listed as g77 anymore in the ports. Look for the latest GCC/EGCS port in the languages section of the ports collection. If you're lucky it might work even with your 3.5.
