Of course, you also need testing entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list.

You could use
a) apt-get install octave2.1/testing
b) apt-get -t testing octave2.1
c) dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/octave2.1_2.1.50-3_i386.deb
[ if you still have it sitting there ... ]
d) the download-only option of apt-get, and then install via dpkg
as in c)
e) do it manually with a ftp or web browser, then use dpkg
