 I am using the newest version of macports and I have Xcode, Xcode command
 line tools and the newest gcc. I tried to install Octave from macports in
 the terminal window and I get the following error

 {{{

 Can someone tell me what to do here. I tried altering the sources.conf
 files and that did not work.

Comment:

 The warning is not your issue here. The problem is that you changed the
 selected variants along the way:

 {{{+accelerate+app+docs+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt5+sound+sundials}}} !=
 {{{+app+atlas+docs+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt5+sound+sundials}}}

 Please run
 {{{sudo port clean octave}}} and then try installing again.

 BTW: +atlas is pointless for any recent version of macOS.
