Comment (by dyne2meter):

 That workaround is kind of a non-starter for anyone who's happy with some
 other installation of TeX, such as the one from www.tug.org/mactex. I did
 try installing texlive from macports but gave up when the installation
 that isn't even the +full variant took longer than octave to download and
 install. I'm pretty sure a judicious selection of texlive (and including
 its math) fonts, dvips, latex, and docbook ports would get the job done,
 but it's easier to get rid of the leaves via re-installing octave if
 nobody's going to fix this port to get the right build dependencies. I
 doubt anyone even needs to wait out the building of octave after all the
 dependencies are on board.
