Adding it to ~/.emacs has the advantage that your changes are immune against
an upgrade of octave or emacs.

Adding menu entries is described in
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp-manual/html_chapter/elisp_22.html#SEC346

If you only want it in a specific mode (eg. octave-mode), bracket this code
inside

(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook '(lambda ()
   ;; your code for adding menus
))
