I have changed the octave-forge page to link the Mac to these instructions (see http://octave.sourceforge.net/). I have mentioned the dmg files at Octave-Forge in the wiki page and with as a warning. I do not know what the warning should be exactly as I don't know about the problems with Mac. If anyone could make it a bit better that would be great.
