There was a version of octave at fink.sourceforge.net, but I think that the
patches do not work with the latest developers toolkit (10.1.2).  There is a
bug in the current Apple c++ compiler that causes some of the templates in
octave to behave improperly; the bug should/will be fixed in the next gcc
release.  

For the time being, I'm still using Yellow Dog Linux on my G4 cube in order
to use octave.  I'm hopefull that OS X will be ready-for-primetime sometime
in 2002, but it's not there yet as regards octave.
