Thanks for the hint!  This solved problem:

export 
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/sw/lib:/sw/lib/octave-2.9.14

I needed the octave-2.9.14 directory to pickup liboctaviz.dylib.

For those interested in using octaviz on Mac OS X, I plan to provide 
more details and hopefully generate discussion through the forum and/or 
mailing list of the sourceforge site 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/octaviz/)
