The gnu fortran compiler is named g77 I believe.

 This is the GNU g77 Fortran compiler, which compiles Fortran 77 on platforms
 supported by the gcc compiler. It uses the gcc backend to generate optimized
 code.
 .
 This is a dependency package providing the default GNU Fortran 77 compiler.
Tag: devel::compiler, interface::commandline, langdevel::fortran, made-of::lang:c, role::aux:metapackage, special::meta, works-with::software:source

Or try apt-cache search fortran and see if gives any interesting options.
