Have you tried it?

octave 3.0.x is supported by CentOS 5.x and installed from yum.

You should always first try yum, then see if there is some rpm in third 
party repositories, and only if you do not find any compile it your self.
Problem with compiling it your self is that you might not be able to 
resolve all dependencies. It looks like you will need ~10 additional 
packages, which yum will solve automatically.
