I asked on the gcc@gcc.gnu.org if there is a configure option
to go the above, and unfortunately there isn't. I was pointed
to --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs, but was then told
that whatever it does is broken for multilib installs.
I had not considered libtool-like utilities, so Dimitry is probably
right in that this may open a can of worms.
Another hack for the ports system would be to unilaterally include
an -Wl,-rpath option on the gfortran commmand line. Currently,
-Wl,-rpath is added to FFLAGS, FCFLAGS, and LDFLAGS in fortran.mk.
The problem is that some ports might reset FFLAGS after fortran.mk
has been included in Makefile. This should do the trick (watch
for cut-n-paster whitespace corruption):

One potential issues may be mixed-language apps that use Fortran libraries,
but link with gcc or g++.
