Comment (by alakazam at melix.net):

 I worked a bit on updating octave to version 3.0.0 this weekend. I will
 not have time until next weekend to continue working on this, so I am
 uploading a partially updated patch file so as to log my progress and
 enable people wishing to help out to contribute.

 Should we open a new ticket, and close this one, or update the
 description, since we will probably be going directly to version 3.0.0
 instead of 2.9.17 ?

 The Portfile I am uploading updates version numbers and checksums for
 version 3.0.0, and improves whitespace formatting.

 Compiling without the configure phase patches does not work because of
 lcamd. The configure phase patches need to be updated for octave's new
 configure script in order to fix this.

 The livecheck regexp probably no longer works, and was based on the
 wording of the release announcements, which does not seem very robust (as
 illustrated by its failing due to the formulation of the latest news on
 the octave homepage).
