Endless frustration installing Octave from homebrew and macports.
Conflicting versions from past attempts, unfamiliarity with the CLI,
bizarre segfaults and uncaught C++ exceptions at runtime. Octave on
Mac OS X is a horrible mess.
I really don't think homebrew and macports are a good distribution
mechanism at all for anyone but the most devoted and technically
capable people. I don't even qualify myself because I'm not that
devoted to Mac OS X.

Sure. If you want to solve this problem for Octave, although I suppose
if your solution generalises to all of macports, that would be very
nice too.
The solution that has worked reasonably well for Windows was to
cross-compile from GNU/Linux. It's worked so well that several people
have independently been able to reproduce Windows binaries for Octave.
It would be nice if it were possible to cross-compile into Mac OS X,
but that's probably hopeless, so whatever solution you have for
macports would be interesting.
