 I tried to update all packages under ports with:  `sudo port upgrade
 outdated`   (run on Oct 2nd 2012)

 Octave failed to build complaining that mkoctfile does not exist.  From
 the logfile for swig-octave, the first error encountered was:
 {{{
 mkoctfile... configure: error: mkoctfile is not installed
 }}}

 See more detail of logfile below.
