Use of the

  CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran 

environment variable before you run the configure script will only
work with the netCDF 3.5 release, because that version has an updated
cfortran.h file that enables use with the pgf90 compiler.  You can get
the netCDF3.5-beta3 release (the latest available) from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.5-beta3.tar.Z

Alternatively, you should be able to use the netCDF 3.4 version with
the Linux fort77 compiler by following the instructions in the INSTALL
file, in particular making sure you have set the CPPFLAGS environment
variable before running the "configure" script.  Or, you could take
the cfortran.h file out of the netCDF 3.5 sources and use it with the
netCDF 3.4 version and the pgf90 compiler.

Please let us know if you have any more questions about this ...
