Unable to install qtoctave-mac

[paul.shiller@…]

On a MacBook running OS X 10.7.2 I am trying to install qtoctave-mac. Octave is installed. I get the following error:

bash-3.2$ sudo port install qtoctave-mac +universal
--->  Computing dependencies for qtoctave-mac
Error: Dependency 'atlas' not found.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

I tried to install atlas but received this error below. On the MacPorts site atlas is not listed as a dependency. Is there another octave port I need to install first?

bash-3.2$ sudo port install atlas
Error: Port atlas not found
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

Atlas is listed on the MacPorts site. I tried doing a "port clean" before reissuing the install commands but received the same error. What do I do next?
