It seems to me a lot of work to do to support this GPL requirement with
a download, so I'd recommend taking the route of a written offer to
supply the source code for the octave-forge supplied binaries on
request, and try and convince the users to go and get the code itself
elsewhere and just use Michael build scripts with this.

If I read the GPL FAQ correctly, as long as you provide binary package on-line, you must also provide the sources on-line (the GPL talks about FTP, but I guess it's the
same for HTTP). So, your proposal above doesn't comply with GPL.
