As Octave is a community driven project, there has never been anything  
like an "official" binary,
Thomas Treichl has been maintaining Octave.app on the source-forge  
site for some time but he has given up this
task due to lack of time. If someone would volunteer to take this task  
he/she would be very welcome.

Theoretically, yes. Thomas has prepared scripts to automate this task  
which are in the sourceforge repository,
never used them myself but I guess with some work they could be made  
up to date again.

Of course there are also macports and fink distributions, but those  
are source only I think.
