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.

Marc
