Can I use MacPorts to install Octave 3.6.4?

Ok, I’m a MacPorts newbie here, but it turns out I haven’t even been able to get the current version of Octave to build yet. This is a clean install of the latest MacPorts on OS X 10.10.1 with Xcode 6.1.1.
I first attempted …
sudo port install octave
… which resulted in …
Error: org.macports.configure for port atlas returned: Atlas could not detect any fortran compiler. If you really don’t need the fortran interface to be built, please use the +nofortran option, else install a fortran compiler (e.g. gcc4X) before building Atlas.
Error: Failed to install atlas
Please see the log file for port atlas for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_atlas/atlas/main.log
So I went back and did …
sudo port clean octave
sudo port clean atlas
sudo port install octave +nofortran
This time it failed to build qrupdate.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I’m happy to wipe everything out and start over even though it takes a few hours to re-build. I’m just looking for the easiest way to get a working version of Octave 3.8.2 and Octave 3.6.4 that I can use to test some code.
By the way, it looks like at this point I do have a fortran compiler installed. Presumably by one of Octave’s other dependencies?
Thanks,
