Comment (by roberthuston@…):

 You still need both patch files to make Octave work, especially the
 octave-3.8.2-clang-libcxx.patch file. Currently, the Portfile-
 octave.3.diff file patches you from a rev3 Portfile to a rev4 Portfile.
 Here's what I did to get my installation working.


 1. If not already done, install Octave using regular MacPorts syntax (the
 gcc49 is default, but I specified it anyway) so that it brings in all its
 dependencies:
 {{{
 sudo port install octave +gcc49 +gui
 }}}

 2. Uninstall the current Octave version (use -f to preserve any installed
 packages):
 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall octave
 }}}

 3. Download "octave-3.8.2-clang-libcxx.patch" and "Portfile-octave.3.diff"

 4. Open Terminal and create a "macports_bandaids" directory for patching
 the octave portfile, and then cd to that directory
 {{{
 mkdir macports_bandaids
 cd macports_bandaids
 }}}

 5. Copy the Octave portfile directory to an "octave-3.8.2_4" directory:
 {{{
 sudo cp -R
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/math/octave
 octave-3.8.2_4
 }}}

 6. Copy Portfile-octave.3.diff to the octave-3.8.2_4 directory
 {{{
 sudo cp ~/Downloads/Portfile-octave.3.diff octave-3.8.2_4
 }}}

 7. Copy octave-3.8.2-clang-libcxx.patch file to the octave-
 bandaid/octave-3.8.2_4/files directory
 {{{
 sudo cp ~/Downloads/octave-3.8.2-clang-libcxx.patch octave-3.8.2_4/files
 }}}

 8. Navigate into the octave-3.8.2_4 directory
 {{{
 cd octave-3.8.2_4
 }}}

 9. Patch the portfile:
 {{{
 sudo patch < Portfile-octave.3.diff
 }}}

 10. Reinstall Octave from your patched installation directory, selecting
 same desired variants as before:
 {{{
 sudo port -f install +gcc49 +gui
 }}}

 At this point, Octave should run correctly and not crash when quitting or
 encountering Ctrl-C.
