We've been over this before, but for fork's sake, the gist of it is that
Macports may install non-universal binaries (possibly breaking existing
applications which dynamically link to libraries) and you might end up with
multiple different versions of gcc, libstdc++ (again possibly breaking
existing applications which dynamically link to libraries), etc. on your
machine.
If Octave works with Macports, and if some people find that easier, great. But
let's make sure it works without it - and it's really not hard to do.
