 I disagree.  The current port is 2.9.x; and according from the
 http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ frontpage, "As noted on the download
 page, 2.9.15 is a pre-release version of Octave 3.0. It is significantly
 different from Octave 2.1.x,..."

 So, Octave 3.0.0/3.0.1 should be more similar to 2.9.x than 2.1.x.
