Not yet, unfortunately. There is now a Fedora Extras repository that contains add-on packages for various Fedora versions (and RHEL IIRC). The problem right now is that its all new, and they are a bit disorganized. The intention is to have a Debian-like server with lots of pre-compiled software. I have volunteered to maintain an octave-forge package, but they have been slow in responding requests for access to their CVS server. I have RPMs for octave-forge and some related packages, but the only web server I have access to at the moment is provided by my ISP and has only 11 MB of space. If anyone has access to a server where they could put these RPMS, I would be happy to make them available.
Also, in the test release of Fedora Core 4 that came out this week, octave has been removed from the core distribution.
