On my Debian system with the xvfb package installed, I am able to run 
the following:

  $ Xvfb :5 -screen 0 800x600x24 &
  $ echo 'graphics_toolkit ("fltk"); plot (randn (10, 1)); print -dpdf 
test.pdf' | DISPLAY=:5 octave -q

This will produce the file test.pdf without any window flashing on my 
screen, which is not the case with:

  $ echo 'graphics_toolkit ("fltk"); plot (randn (10, 1)); print -dpdf 
test.pdf' | octave -q
