From the config.log you sent, I think you should set the F77 environment 
variable 
to "ifort", to be consistent with using icc for the C compiler and ifort for the
F90 compiler.  Currently, the configure script is choosing "mpif77" for the f77
compiler.

Recently we fixed a bug in the netCDF C daily snapshot release that had been
preventing Fortran releases from building properly, and a user reported 
success with a combination similar to yours:

  I downloaded the latest daily build of the C API:

  netcdf-4.2.1.1-snapshot2012120323

  and:

  netcdf-fortran-4.4-beta1

  Both now built successfully (passed all tests) with the Intel icc/icpc and 
ifort     
  compilers on a Linux 64-bit cluster and my Mac OS X laptop.

So if defining F77 as ifort doesn't work, you might try the daily snapshot 
netCDF
C release from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

with either the netcdf-fortran-4.2 or netcdf-fortran-4.4-beta1 releases
instead.  We're working on another Fortran release, but I can't currently
estimate when it will be ready ...
