There is a working (save for a minor problem waiting to be fixed)  
octave-forge-2003.06.02-1.info file for fink available at the fink  
submission tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
index.php?func=detail&aid=585392&group_id=17203&atid=414256

Download the file  
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
download.php?group_id=17203&atid=414256&file_id=61588&aid=585392
copy it into/sw/fink/10.2/local/ or  
/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/
and then install from the command line by "fink install octave-forge"

See fink lists/FAQ for details.

If you install octave-forge, image{sc} will use Preview.app to display  
images.
Needs Imagemagick
See  
http://omni.isr.ist.utl.pt/~etienne/cgi-bin-etienne/ 
wiki.pl?MacOSXIntegration for how to install ImageMagick
