Not directly. Look at e.g.

double dweibull(double x, double shape, double scale, int give_log)

this uses call-by-value semantics, where Fortran always uses
call-by-reference, i.e. pointers. So, notwithstanding linker and
symbol naming issues, you would at the very least have to write 
wrapper functions to the tune of

double dweibw(double *x, double *shape, double *scale, int *give_log)
{
        return dweibull(*x, *shape, *scale, *give_log);
}
