Not the best solution...   but it works (as of Feb 12 2008)
 wget
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/ufsparse-2.1.1-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm
 wget
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/qhull-2003.1-6.el5.kb.i386.rpm
 wget
http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/glpk-4.15-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm
 wget
http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/fftw-3.1.2-3.el5.kb.i386.rpm
 wget
http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/hdf5-1.6.5-7.el5.kb.i386.rpm
 wget
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/epel/5/i386/octave-3.0.0-2.el5.i386.rpm

and then as root

rpm -i *.rpm
