Comment (by Torsten.Maehne@…):

 I'm fine with waiting, but the upstream patch requires testing: the
 proposed upstream patch makes cursor keys work, but other characters
 requiring the ALT key on non-US keyboards don't work. Therefore, I created
 a [https://github.com/maehne/experimental-
 macports/commit/d7bd832acffa22e4beb7e5b19507fe25d14c9915 octave port]
 including the patch.
