For plain data exchange with OpenOffice ODS there's support since a few
weeks in octave-forge, based on java.

While data exchange is now possible tru java, there was already a java-based
way to control octave, see e.g.:
http://jopas.sourceforge.net/

I haven't tried that one but stumbled across it when searching for other
octave <-> java stuff. I'm sure I've seen similar solutions elsewhere on the
web.

This might be another way to get what you want.

That said, I don't know if there is any java-based support for gnumeric and
kspread...
