For what is worth,
As a longtime member of the octave mailing list, and as someone who regularly builds octave without MacPorts or Fink, let me add the current thinking about building octave under Mac OS X 10.4.x:
Apple's gcc 4.0.1 together with g95.org's g95 work well under both PPC and Intel machines for building octave 2.9.9.
In my experience, gfortran has caused lots of problems.
Thanks for the information. I'll give g95 a spin. Best Wishes, Greg

Yes, this is really necessary. The gcc40 port was built so you would have a gfortran that is ABI compatible with your gcc and g++. Apple does not supply gfortran so MacPorts has to build it. (And Octave really does have modules written in c, c++ and fortran :-) )
Is gcc40 the standard port to depend upon when one needs a fortran compiler? The reason for all the current py-scipy bugs on trac is that the port doesn't install a fortran compiler as a dependancy. I put up a patch for it, but told it to depend upon gcc41. Should that be changed to gcc40?
I think it should be changed to gcc42 since gcc40 doesn't work on Intel Macs (last time I checked). I hope this helps.
