Where is this. I am being send in circles online at the moment. As it says at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html, the FSF does not provide binaries of GCC, only source code. If you want a dmg package for Mac you'll have to get it from a third-party who packages GCC for Mac. I searched for "Mac gfortran" and found http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries which has links to packages provided by some of the GFortran maintainers.
