Looks like this may be due to a bug in how Octave calls ImageMagick:

There have been changes in __magick_read__. There have also been trouble 
with recent GraphicsMagick releases (since 1.3.8 at least). They added 
an initialization that Octave isn't executing. I'm running 1.3.6 and I'm not seeing this.

Is there any workaround to this issue?

Hi, Just downloaded & installed octave and this problem seems to be still there. Any idea ?

I'm having the exact same problem with a freshly installed octave 3.2.4.

If this is still really an issue ... please do:

sudo port selfupdate

and then try installing it again. Should be fixed with r114034.
