Agreed.
Also, surplus commas in the first paragraph; and I'd recommend
rearranging it to avoid the misreading that it was coded using this
algorithm.
This is a FORTRAN implementation of the Non-Uniform Fast Fourier Transform
(NUFFT) using a fast procedural algorithm.
Then in the second paragraph, "existingly packaged" has got to go;
and that first sentence never does explicitly compare anything - it's
only implied that NFFT doesn't provide these bindings. Say:
Unlike solutions such as the NFFT library, the NUFFT provides Octave (and
MATLAB) compatible bindings. [...]
Then at the end:

Nitpicking, "it lacks support for A and support for B" is needless
repetition, the "in case" should be "in the case that" or simply "if",
and "both [...] may coexist" is redundant and sounds as if you don't
know whether in fact they do exist. So:
This is a FORTRAN implementation of the Non-Uniform Fast Fourier Transform
(NUFFT) using a fast procedural algorithm.
.
Unlike solutions such as the NFFT library, the NUFFT provides Octave (and
MATLAB) compatible bindings. Because of the procedural implementation, usage
of the NUFFT is more straightforward. However, it lacks support for
dimensions greater than three or for precomputation if a transform needs to
be repeated. As a result the NFFT and NUFFT packages fit different needs and
can coexist.
