Honest question here, is there a newer version of libf2c that lives in =
ports and is adopted by people who use fortran?  The one that I find in =
the base system seems to be a similar match to the one in =
ports/devel/f2c.  Is the one in the base system a pain to maintain or =
otherwise holding back other work, or has it been made obsolete by =
something in ports?  Is removing it from the base system anything more =
than just churn?

With libobjc, the one in ports looks to indeed be a lot newer, and I'll =
take it on faith that the gnustep ports automatically installs it, =
overriding the base copy and making it essentially obsolete.
