It looks to me like you ran configure with the right options and I can't see 
why it didn't work. The last time we tested on
HPUX was with the 3.6.3 version of netCDF, and our test showed it used the same 
f90 options and succeeded in
linking at the point you see a bunch of unsatisfied externals:

        source='fortlib.c' object='fortlib.o' libtool=no \
        DEPDIR=.deps depmode=hp /bin/sh ../depcomp \
        cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../fortran      -g -c -o fortlib.o 
fortlib.c
        /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=F77    --mode=link f90 -I../fortran        
-I../libsrc -I../fortran  -I../f90 -g          -o nf_test test_get.o test_put.o 
 nf_error.o nf_test.o test_read.o  test_write.o util.o fortlib.o       
../libsrc/libnetcdf.la    
libtool: link: f90 -I../fortran -I../libsrc -I../fortran -I../f90 -g -o nf_test 
test_get.o test_put.o nf_error.o nf_test.o test_read.o test_write.o util.o 
fortlib.o  ../libsrc/.libs/libnetcdf.a
        f90 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../fortran     -I../fortran

We don't have a system on which we can duplicate the problems you are seeing.  
You might try verion 3.6.3 (from June 2008)
 to see if it builds without this problem, but I'm not sure why it would:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.3.tar.gz

Here is the output we got from a successful build of that version on HPUX, for 
comparison:
