Tom, dd you try Lukas' portfile ?

You'll need  to setup a local macports depo and place the octave stuff in there.

        mkdir ~/ports
        mkdir ~/ports/math
        mkdir ~/ports/math/octave-devel
        mkdir ~/ports/math/octave-devel/files

Now put all the octave stuff where it belongs.

Place octave-3.6.1.tar.gz in the "files" directory.
Place Lukas' port file (I've attached it) in the "octave-devel" directory.
Place both "patch-configure.diff" and "patch-src-display.cc.diff" in the 
"files" directory.

Next tell macports about the local stuff.

        cd ~/ports
        portindex -f

Finally, you're ready to build.

        sudo port upgrade octave-devel
