This is TERRIBLE news! I would never have upgraded my OS had I known this.

I get:
$ port installed atlas
The following ports are currently installed:
  atlas @3.10.1_5+gcc48 (active)

Not if I understand the above result. Doesn't that indicate that atlas is installed?

FWIW the thread there mentions gcc48 and FWIW I used variant +gcc48, as in
  sudo port install octave +atlas+docs+fltk+gcc48

If you look at my original post (with some generated output), all it says is that a bunch of dependencies were not installed but it doesn't give a clue why or what to do about it.
