moving this to macports-users list since this seems to be a MacPorts 
issue; please remove help-octave from to/cc when responding

ImageMagick is a dependency for octave-image.  It should be installed 
via macports automatically when you try to install octave-image.

You are a little unclear about the steps you took to install octave and 
the octave-forge image package.  You should not have installed the 
octave.app from the dmg file from sourceforge.  Instead, you should 
install everything from macports, by doing:

$ sudo port install octave

and then

$ sudo port install octave-image

What architecture do you have, Intel or PowerPC?
