My make is Apple's.  But my automake and autoconf are from Macports.

$ which make
/usr/bin/make
$ which automake
/opt/local/bin/automake
$ which autoconf
/opt/local/bin/autoconf

I recommend you start by building the Octave port.  That will ensure that you 
have all the build time dependencies installed.  I include the atlas, docs, and 
gcc45 variants.

        sudo port build octave-devel +atlas+docs+gcc45
