Sigh.

cd /usr/ports/math
cp -pR octave octave42
cd octave42

Spend 2 days working on updating from octave 4.0.3 to 4.2.1.
Finally get 'make' to complete.  Now, install into an alternate
location to prevent uninstalling the octave-4.0.3 to new
octave-gui binary.

It looks like qtchooser is using PREFIX instead of LOCALBASE.
