Sorry, can't follow. Can you elaborate and give a real example?

Does Octave support support package "prefixes"? I know of the 
installation prefix subdir; but calling a function with a 
"package"-prefix is new to me.

Furthermore, are you talking about official TMW-created Matlab 
toolboxes? Is it allowed to turn proprietary toolboxes into packages?

Or do you refer to user-made toolboxes from Matlab-Central? In the 
latter case it looks ridiculous to have to follow non-official toolboxes.

Well, I'm curious... Matlab compatibility elevated into unforeseen 
dimensions ;-)
