Here is what PLplot does for this problem.  (I cannot take credit for this
CMake code, but it appears to work well.)

# Check for fortran compiler
   include(CMakeDetermineFortranCompiler)
   if(NOT CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)
     message(STATUS "WARNING: "
    "fortran compiler not found. Disabling f77/f95 bindings"
     )

etc...
