OK. We're at the heart of the problem. I showed you an example of direct use
of zenity, through a 'system' call. When you add some octave package from
octave-forge, it goes as follows:
1) download the package.tar.gz from sourceforge
2) install: from octave, "pkg install '/the/path/of/package.tar.gz"
3) to use it: do a "pkg load package" prior to its use

You use the MacPorts system, which performs step 1 and 2 automatically. The
last one is up to you, either from octave command line or inside your
.octaverc.
