Currently, nothing. We'll ship Octave 4.0 with Windows binaries but no
Mac OS X distribution. Some people have offered to help, but no
concrete results yet:

Mac OS X has a long and awful history with Octave. If you are willing
to put the effort into making reproducible Mac OS X builds for Octave,
it would make a lot of Mac users happy. If you can't ensure
reproducible builds, then an ad-hoc build like the one we had for
3.4.0 could be the next best thing.
