Are you sure about step 3?

1. I tried this:
octave:1> pkg load octave-zenity
error: package octave-zenity is not installed
error: called from:
error:   /opt/local/share/octave/3.2.4/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 2005, column 4
error:   /opt/local/share/octave/3.2.4/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 301, column 7

2. With other octave packages installed via MacPorts, I don't need to do "pkg 
load package".
