What I did was install FEnics via the binary installer then compile Octave from 
source linking
to the libraries installed by FEnics in /Applications/FEnics.app

That was on OSX10.8 though, I think the current FEnics binary installer does 
not support Mavericks.
This seems like a good opportunity to try interacting with the Dolfin 
developers by asking their help.

If everything else fails, while we wait for OSX10.9 to be fully supported by 
FEnics, I have a virtual appliance
with Octave + FEnics + fem-fenics preinstalled in ubuntu 13.10
