The command you need to try is port clean, not port clear:

$ sudo port clean octave

Replying to larryv@…: That was mistyped. I'm sorry. I did use port clean few times before submitting the ticket

I installed TeX Live through MacPorts and octave finished the installing process.

I tried disabling all of the texlive ports, but even without those octave did destroot as expected with docs in place. So, maybe it's a dependency of texlive? Etiher way, I'm glad you got the issue sorted out at least for yourself.
