I recently finally got Octave to build again on Snow Leopard.  I have attached 
the script that I modified from a recent post on the maintainers list to use 
the toolchain provided by MacPorts.  Hope this helps, and let me know if you 
have any other questions.  Make sure to source the file with "." and a space so 
that the environment variables persists after execution is completed.
