If the Portfile is from macports, then the build directory left with -k should 
be at:

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_math_octave-devel/work/octave-devel-3.3.90/

If you are using a local portfile (see macport documentation), you should issue 
"portindex" command on your local ports directory. Then, after installing with 
"-k" option, the build directory should be at

ports/math/octave-devel/work/octave-3.3.90/

Where "ports" is your local ports directory.

cd to ports/math/octave-devel/work/octave-3.3.90/ then issue the "sudo make 
check | grep FAIL" command.
