The actual issue is:

:info:build ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Volumes/work/macports/bin/../lib/gcc45/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11/4.5.4'
:info:build ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Volumes/work/macports/bin/../lib/gcc45/gcc'
:info:build ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Volumes/work/macports/bin/../lib/gcc45/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11/4.5.4/../../..'
:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
:info:build   "std::_List_node_base::_M_transfer(std::_List_node_base*, std::_List_node_base*)", referenced from:
:info:build       std::list<regexp::match_element, std::allocator<regexp::match_element> >::operator=(std::list<regexp::match_element, std::allocator<regexp::match_element> > const&) in liboctave_la-regexp.o

which is related to the recent GCC / libstdcxx / ld64 changes. If you do:

sudo port selfupdate
port outdated

and gcc45 is among those to be updated, then do:

sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port clean octave-devel

and then try to install octave-devel again as before; hopefully this time it will work.

If gcc45 is not among those to be updated, then do:

sudo port -f uninstall gcc45 libstdcxx ld64
sudo port clean octave-devel

and then try to install octave-devel again as before; hopefully this time it will work. If there are multiple versions of "gcc45 libstdcxx ld64", then you'll want to force uninstall all of them.

Now it works. Thank you for your help.
