In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers arpack), if any.

Which variants do you have enabled? You could try if port uninstall arpack && port install arpack works The fortran_compiler_name is something that is set in the compilers-1.0 port group. CC-ing Sean to see if he knows more.

For arpack it's simply "+accelerate", but more generally, I have:

-universal
-mysql -mariadb
-gcc43 -gcc44 -gcc45 -gcc46 -gcc47
+clang38
+no_atlas -atlas +glpk +gsl +accelerate
+no_x11 -x11 +quartz -x11_xcb +no_tkinter +aqua
+apache2 +postgresql +postgresql92 +openldap +ssl
+huge +luaterm +mod_dav_svn +tools
+without_hbci +without_quotes +dbi
+smp +no_mmx
+metis
+python34
+mpich -openmpi

For my purposes, I simply commented out the check

#mpi.setup           require_fortran

since I had all the requirements already in place, but it just a hack so I could continue.

I think this was a temporary problem with the compilers portgroup that you unfortunately hit. I tried reproducing but this all works for me.
