On Intel with 10.5.2, trying to install octave crashes with the message

It would seem that you are trying to compile octave 2.9. The latest version of octave provided by MacPorts is octave3.0.1. Please run sudo port selfupdate and try installing octave again. This should fix your problem.

I think that this task can be closed, as the bug was only present in an outdated Portfile.
