Eep!

We should release MacPorts 2.1.3, and then do that, yes. :)

The log says pango is installed, graphviz just fails to find it for some unknown reason. But it looks like pango was already active, which it shouldn't have been. I guess MacPorts had trouble deactivating octave due to the above, and then stopped, leaving any ports alphabetically after octave (including pango) active. Not sure why that would be a problem but maybe this will solve itself after the above is fixed.
