These symbols belong to libmpl:

nm -A /usr/local/lib/libmpl.a | grep MPL_

So you have to link with -lmpl (and maybe with -lopa too).

Another solution could be to link with mpicc and friends instead of
gcc/g++/gfortran, as these wrappers set the correct flags and link to
the correct libraries as required.

Yet another solution could be to configure mpich2 with
--enable-lib-depend, but this is experimental...

BTW, a new version has been released, and I have plan to upgrade it
after the ports thaw.
