 I issued the command

 {{{
 port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 At some point it failed, with the error:

 {{{
 Error: +fortran requires a fortran compiler to be selected

 Error: Unable to open port:
 }}}

 Turning on debugging yielded:

Comment:

 The error message is probably correct. In addition to the +fortran
 variant, try specifying a fortran compiler variant (they are g95, gcc44,
 gcc45, gcc46, gcc47, gcc48, gcc49, gfortran).
