What does 

octave> path 

give you?

You should have 

/opt/local/share/octave/packages/communications-1.1.1

listed.

If not you can manually add the path using

octave> addpath('/opt/local/share/octave/packages/communications-1.1.1')

Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in the internal machinery of building octave-forge packages under MacPorts. Maybe someone else can explain why the path was not automatically added.
