They're in the Everything repository:
octave-2.9.9-2.fc7
octave-forge-2006.07.09-9.fc7

"Everything" contains all the packages which would previously have been in 
either Core or Extras. The "Fedora" spin only contains a selection of packages 
close to what "Core" previously was (but now picked out of the same build 
system and repository). Yes, the naming is confusing, but unfortunately nobody 
could think of anything better (other than reusing "Core", which would have 
been confusing too).
