The Leopard release involved some changes in the signal handling
internals, which generate these kinds of errors. I created some
patches for Erlang, SML/NJ, and so forth to deal with it but I
haven't looked at Octave.
It is worth checking with the main Octave site to see if they have
released any updates; most likely, other Leopard users have
already complained to them about this problem.
The reason I asked about using port selfupdate was the references
to gcc-4.04. My own installation shows gcc-4.2 as the dependency.
Which is not to say, the sigaltstack error is not the fatal one.
Still I wonder about the gcc version your installation wants to
use.......
The octave port uses gcc40 for powerpc machines and gcc42 for intel
machines. I requested a long time ago that this be changed to use
gcc42 always:

We do have reports that octave 2.9.9 doesn't build on Leopard, at
least on intel machines:

There is a ticket with a patch to update octave to 2.9.15 (though
2.9.16 is already out) which you could try if 2.9.9 doesn't build for
you:
