Comment(by mbrethen@…):

 I agree, it should work out of the box. Arial is gnuplot's default font
 for making PNG files. That font is present in /Library/Fonts but gnuplot
 is not finding it, that's a MacPorts packaging bug. Neither did setting
 the GDFONTPATH variable work for wxMaxima. A way around this issue was to
 put 'set term png font "/Library/Fonts/Arial Unicode.ttf" 12' in the
 '.gnuplot' file located in my user diractory. But I spent a few hours
 online to sort this out.
