Comment (by kencu):

 Seems to fail due to this:
 {{{
 ld: in
 '/System/Library/Frameworks//Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Accelerate.tbd',
 unexpected token: !tapi-tbd-v3 for architecture x86_64
 }}}

 Please try this:
 {{{
 sudo port -v install ld64 +ld64_xcode
 sudo port clean octave
 sudo port -v install octave
 }}}
 and you should have better success, I hope.

 `ld64` from MacPorts is a bit too old to handle the output of modern
 `Xcode` bits. The error you usually see is in regards to that `unexpected
 token: !tapi-tbd-v3` business.

 By setting `ld64 + ld64_xcode` you get the Xcode default linker, which
 speaks `tapi`.

 We should make `ld64 + ld64_xcode` the default on `10.13`.
