Comment (by roumbaba):

 I modified octave's Portfile on my computer and put fig2dev instead of
 transfig as a runtime dependency. That did the trick and octave is now
 installed and works.
 Is there anything I should be worried about in the future (problems caused
 down the line) because I manually did the Portfile modification?
