It does not currently do this. As far as MXE-Octave is concerned,
Octave is just another thing to download and install, and if you want
to modify it, you have to write patches for it. Look at src/octave.mk
and src/octave*.patch
It would be convenient if MXE could work as you suggest. Why don't you
attempt to write new Makefile rules for octave.mk that allow this?
The idea was for MXE-Octave to some day merge back to the MXE it has
forked off from, but so far this hasn't happened.
