If you up to building octave from its sources, you can do that.  
Instructions are at the link below.

If you're using Debian, you may be able to put together a local  
package that uses the development sources.

I'm not a Linux user, but have done the same for Mac OSX using Fink's  
package management system (which descends from Debian).
