Houtan,

Welcome!  I was working on the bundle below.

        http://wiki.octave.org/Create_a_MacOS_X_App_Bundle_Using_MacPorts

I haven't had time for thorough testing, but my last attempt appears to run on 
X86_64 systems.  The link for the my list attempt is included in the wiki.

The current link (which will change when I update it) is below.

        https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14845154/Octave-X86_64-3.7.0%2Bv12.dmg

Feel free to start working on this.  You're welcome to duplicate and extend the 
approach I used or take a different approach.
