So these DLLs are binary-only? In that case, I think linking them
with Octave would be in violation of the terms of the GPL.

If you want to avoid the license issues, then write a standalone
program that uses the DLLs to translate into a format that Octave can
read. Then have Octave run that program as a separate process to do
the translation, then read the resulting data.
A better solution might be to avoid proprietary data formats, or
reverse-engineer the current format so that some free (as in speech)
tools can be developed to read and write the format.
