Thomas is right. I have since removed aquaterm from /Library/ 
Frameworks and re-ported octave, and my /applications/Gnuplot.app/ 
Contents/Resources/lib looks as shown above. However, I now have the  
following errors.

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ 
bin/a2p is being used by the active perl5 port.  Please deactivate  
this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: texlive  
texlive_base perl5.8 texi2html texlive_texmf-full texlive_texmf-minimal
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Any thoughts?
