Thank you so much for this bit of information that was obvious to
everyone except me :) I found these packages hiding deep within RHN:
fftw-3.2.1-3.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
glpk-4.40-1.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
I found and downloaded them using my RHN subscription. I also note that
googling the file names reveals a zillion alternate locations.
After a quick download and install, yum installed octave with no
problem. And now octave is installed thanks to EPEL!

Hello
Apparently octave needs a couple of libraries which are provided by
packages available in the optional RHN channel(s) [*]. Therefore you
must enable those channel(s) in order to successfully install it.
(*) I use Centos so I am not very familiar with the current structure of
the RHN channels
