Did you install the macports "cfitsio" package before trying to install the fits package?

I'd guess you still haven't loaded the "fits" package. If the command below doesnt' return anything, then its not
loaded.
which read_fits_image
To load the package ...
pkg load fits
Now ...
which read_fits_image
'read_fits_image' is a function from the file /Users/bpabbott/octave/fits-1.0.2/x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2-api-v48+/read_fits_image.oct
