Log onto premier.intel.com (I think that's the name, look at the
info you received when you registered).  Browse around and you
should be able to find the right distfile.  In the past, I've also
just copied the port, changed the distfile specs in the Makefile
to point to the one I had, did a "make makesum", and it compiled
and worked with no problem (this was with fortran, version 7, I
think).

In the past having both ifc and icc ports installed at the same
time really messed things up.  Caveat emptor.

Good luck.
