AFAIK Octave requires an X Server on Snow Leopard only. Can you try building octave with --without-x option? You need to make the change in src/octave.mk specific to Darwin system. I don't have access to my Mac, so I can't help you right you.

I modified octave.mk and added "--without-x" to configure.  Unfortunately, I get the same error.

Did you try uninstalling X from MacPorts? Make sure the X11 CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS do not get included while building Octave.
