Currently installed and active is:

This is flagged as having available upgrade to 4.0.2_0, so I executed...
sudo port upgrade octave

Error: org.macports.fetch for port octave returned: must set at least one
Fortran variant
Presumably I want to add fortran
Is there some form of the upgrade command to do that?
Or do I simply have to do a new install:
sudo port install octave @4.0.2_0+atlas+gcc48+glgui+gfortran
I think you want to do:
sudo port upgrade octave +gfortran
which will add gfortran to the currently installed set of variants while
upgrading.
Having to manually intervene during an upgrade like this is of course
poor UX. The problem here is that the gcc48 variant (actually all of
gcc44, gcc45, gcc46, gcc47, gcc48, gcc49) was removed rather than
sticking around as a "legacy compatibility variant" that just causes a
mandatory replacement variant (presumably +gfortran here) to be selected.
