Comment:

 I think this is a problem with the octave port. It lists three
 dependencies on bin:tex:$whatever, and consequently tries to install
 teTeX, texlive and pTeX, which as you discovered is impossible. It should
 list only one port for the TeX dependency, preferably bin:tex:texlive.

 For an immediate workaround, I'd recommend uninstalling teTeX and pTeX and
 then installing texlive. Then you can try installing octave again, and
 since TeX will be present from the start of the process, the dependencies
 will all register as being fulfilled and it should work.
