At one time there was a shuttle from St John's, but I don't think it operates any more. SPMExpress would certainly know - check with them.
It would be probably be cheaper to fly from St John's to St Pierre & Miquelon than to get a taxi to Fortune or rent a car. Also, if you're not familiar with the roads and conditions in rural Newfoundland, I'd be a little cautious about driving yourself. I wouldn't advise hitch-hiking - not for safety reasons, but more because you can't afford to miss the ferry, and getting rides all the way to Fortune could be a problem, or at least time-consuming.
