I'm not yet running MacOS 10.8, but, I recently had an exchange of emails with 
Michael Dickens who is responsible for maintaining Octave's portfile.  Michael 
is running MacOS 10.8.  He used the attached portile to build Octave 3.6.4.  
Since he did some testing of accelerate and atlas, I expect you can find what 
you need to build Octave there.

I notice you're using Accelerate

However, I recommend you avoid accelerate as a make check will seg-fault.  On 
MacOS 10.7, I don't get a seg-fault, but do encounter several test failures 
(except for tight tolerances, all pass using atlas).
