Comment (by michaelld@…):

 "octave @3.6.4_10+atlas+gcc48" is what I use, and other variants should
 not change this result. If you want to just reinstall, that's worth a try:
 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall octave @3.6.4_10+atlas+gcc48
 sudo port -k install octave +atlas +gcc48
 }}}
 the '-k' will keep the build directory for now. Then, do:
 {{{
 (cd `port work octave` && sudo chmod -R a+rw . && cd octave-3.6.4 && make
 check)
 }}}
 and this will check a lot of how octave functions. On my 10.8 box I get
 back:
 {{{
 Summary:

   PASS  10203
   FAIL      2

 There were 2 expected failures (see fntests.log for details).

 Expected failures are known bugs.  Please help improve Octave
 by contributing fixes for them.

 There were 7 skipped tests (see fntests.log for details).
 Skipped tests are features that are disabled in this version of Octave
 because the needed libraries were not present when Octave was built.

 243 (of 803) .m files have no tests.

 36 (of 157) .cc files have no tests.
 }}}
 which is as good as one can expect. I'm building on 10.9 right now, and
 will do this same test once that finishes.
