I never paid extra for Xcode (unless you count paying for an OS upgrade).

Looking up the history of Xcode, version 1.0 appeared in "fall 2003", 
which coincides with the October 2003 release of OS X 10.3 Panther 
(October 2003):

Xcode was certainly included on my Panther distribution discs - when I 
finally managed to get hold of one; they were selling faster than the 
shops could get hold of them in my neck of the woods.

I have yet to try gfortran on the Intel version of OS X.
