Vic,

I think that there is one more symbolic link in /usr/local/bin to change for
mkoctfile.

An idea that has occurred to me is to make a "fat" binary for octave on an
Intel machine and see if it works on the G5. I'll ask Guarav if he has time
and the machine to try that approach. (Anyone got a spare Intel iMac lying
around?) 

After watching the Apple lists for a while, you notice that the Apple folks
are very tight lipped about their problems and when or if they might be
fixed.
