OK, I found where your patch needs to be applied, to the acinclude.m4
file in the netcdf-fortran source directory.  I've tested that it works
OK on Linux, too.  So I committed the fix to the git repository at

  https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran

which means it will be in the upcoming netCDF-Fortran release, which is
still waiting for me to finish adapting it to cmake.  In the meantime,
I'm glad your adhoc fix for MacPorts makes it work for OSX, too.

Thanks again for your contribution!
