The basic feature can be provided by etag(1)

First, you build a TAGS file:

find $source_directory -name \*.f -print0 | xargs -0 etags -a -o $source_directory/TAGS {}

then you can use it for example, by typing M-. on a function name.
The first time it'll ask what TAGS file you want (specify the one you
just created).  Then it will jump to the source of the function.



Otherwise, you could use cedet (http://cedet.sourceforge.net) but it
seems there's no Fortran parser yet.  You could write one.
