 10.5.5 (intel MBP), Macports 1.600, recently selfupdate'd.

 When installing octave, even with the +gcc43 variant, the g95 package is
 still installed.  gcc43 provides gfortran by default, and gfortran should
 be used to compile any fortran files required for octave or its
 dependencies (yes?  if not, why...?).

 g95 ends up eating disk space needlessly, and if uninstalled and then
 octave is upgraded, g95 attempts to reinstall itself.

 solution: make octave and/or its dependencies build with the full F95
 compliant gfortran compiler.

 thanks!
