Well, the octave port is for version 3.2.x which is old and has some problems, including not working on Mavericks: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41211 The octave-devel port is for version 3.6.x and is better; this should be used for now, if possible. This will be changed soon so that the octave port is for version 3.6.x.
