There were recently some changes to
the organization of the Fortran-related
ports on FreeBSD.  The Fortran compiler
was added to the list of runtime
dependencies, as it should have been,
and the default Fortran compiler was
changed from gcc 4.2.x to 4.3.x.  As
Glen suggested, your problem may be
related.  Try updating your ports tree,
and then rebuilding blas, lapack,
and R, and see if it works.  If you
haven't done so after the changes,
you may also have to fetch and build
gcc 4.3.x, which may take some time
and disk space, so be prepared to keep
half an eye on your build.  Let me know
if that doesn't solve your problem.

Regards,
