I was able to successfully build and install the netCDF package on your
MacOS X system.  Here's a summary of my effort:

    $ ssh address@hidden

    Connected to ftp.unidata.ucar.edu.

    ~: zcat netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z | tar -xf -
    ...
    ~: rm netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z

I got the patch-file "absoft90-macosx.patch" from

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/absoft90-macosx.patch

Please let me know if this helps.
