I don't think it will work correctly for the released versions of Octave, but 
please try changing the fontsize property for each of the axes. If there is no 
effect, then you still have some options.

(1) If your gnuplot version is >= 4.4 then it supports the TikZ/lua terminal.  
The link below gives a short description on how to include TikZ files in latex.

(2) You can convert eps files to PGF (low level language for TikZ)

        http://www.texample.net/TikZ/resources/#tools-that-generate-PGFTikZ-code

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/eps2pgf/

(3) Psfrag will not work with pdflatex, However, fragmaster can convert an 
eps/psfrag for use with pdflatex

        http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/fragmaster/

I haven't tried either (2) or (3) myself, but the third looks like a last 
resort to me.
