Not the new style Malab OOP with classdef, but the old style OOP is 
supported in Octave 3.2.0.. There was discussion of implementing 
classdef style OOP and there is some very very early code on the 
developers list. Come back in 6 to 12 months and I'm sure the situation 
will have changed. Till then use the old style OOP. Matlab has only 
supported the classdef OOP stuff for about 18 months themselves so there 
is lot more old style OOP code out there in any case.
