Not sure, actually. I remember seeing that somewhere, probably using  
Porticus, but it's not showing up now.
However, I did it just now (--all) and it took a non-trivial amount  
of time (10 seconds).

Re-ran sudo port install texlive +minimal, then sudo port install  
octave.

The "standard" error did not appear in either install. However, the  
latter (Octave) errored out with a compile error in an Octave file  
that says it is a "urlwrite and urlread, a curl front-end for  
octave." Here's the error:


/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.2 -c -I/opt/local/include -I. -I.. -I../ 
liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W - 
Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -O2 ./DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc -o urlwrite.o
./DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc: In function 'std::string  
form_query_string(CURL*, const Cell&)':
./DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc:73: error: 'curl_easy_escape' was not  
declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [urlwrite.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.


This result seems like progress but also seems like a problem in the  
Octave-related source.
