It depends on what you mean by "Matlab toolbox". If you mean the code
that came with Matlab, it's probably a license violation to use it
with Octave, assuming you can compile it for Octave when it's
necessary to compile.

If you mean free code out there you found on the internet that was
written for Matlab, it is likely it will work on Octave. Just try it.
If you need to compile mex files, the "mkoctfile --mex" command may be
of use.

If you want to have a rough equivalent of the Matlab toolboxes in
Octave, try the Octave-Forge packages:
