Agreed on all counts.  That said, sometimes the software must be
compiled with this or that option, or this or that compiler, or else the
resulting executable won't work.  I've seen this before.

My hope was that some MacPorts-dev person would recognize the issue &
have a quick solution (e.g., gcc44 has issues; use gcc45 -- or
whatever).  As nobody has replied back, I'm guessing it's an issue that
none of have us dealt with or at least seen.

So, I'm looking through Octave bug reports & install guides to see if
there's something I'm missing.  I'm done with this today & will post a
tarball of the Port's files if I don't succeed, so that hopefully
someone else can. - MLD
