The "miscellaneous" package in octave forge http://octave.sourceforge.net 
contains a csv2cell function

-- Function File: C =  csv2cell (FILE)
 -- Function File: C =  csv2cell (FILE, SEP)
 -- Function File: C =  csv2cell (FILE, SEP, PROT)
     Read a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and convert it into a
     cell. SEP changes the character used to separate two fields. By
     default, two fields are expected to be separated by a coma (`,').
     PROT changes the character used to protect a string. By default
     it's a double quote (`"').
