I don't think that there are any SRPM written for SUSE. I haven't tried to 
rebuild Octave from the Fedora version.

I build my own RPM from source using checkinstall (1). It's really easy to use 
and works just fine. It should be included in the SUSE distro.

(1) http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

To compile Octave you do './configure; make; checkinstall' instead of 
'./configure; make; make install' and you get your RPM ready to install.

I think that Octave isn't included as part of SUSE since version 8.1 or so.
