I did the following on OSX 10.4.8,
many options may be redundant but it works fine:
----------------------------------
./configure \
LIBS="-lcamd -lmetis -lreadline.4.3 " \
LDFLAGS=" -L/opt/metis/current/lib  -L/sw/lib -L/opt/ufsparse/ 
suitsparse/lib " \
CPPFLAGS="-I/sw/include -I/opt/ufsparse/suitsparse/include " \
\
CFLAGS="-O3 -no-cpp-precomp -fexceptions -fno-common " \
\
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/sw/lib/ " \
\
--prefix=/opt/octave/2.9.9 \
--enable-shared --disable-static \
--with-lapack="-framework Accelerate"
--------------------------------------

I have libreadline.4.3 installed in /sw/lib via fink.
Hope this helps,
