MacPorts typically installs things under /opt/local/, so I suspect netcdf.mod 
is in
/opt/local/include/.  Rather than guessing at the directory and looking with 
the "find"
command, I use the "Spotlight" tool on OSX, typing netcdf.mod into the search 
line.

Then I can hold down the option and command keys while mousing over the 
drop-down list
of "netcdf.mod" files found, and the exact location appears at the bottom of 
the 
associated pop-up windows.

I'm not sure about "sizes.mod".  It may not be needed anymore.
