Yes.  For an example of something like this, you might look at
ftp://ftp.ma.utexas.edu/pub/mzou/XPLOT.tgz.  I'm not suggesting that
this is the right thing for Octave, just that modifying gnuplot to
have a more extensive X interface is certainly possible.

Anyone who is interested in discussing implementation details of new
graphics and GUI tools for Octave is welcome to join a mailing list
that I have set up for that purpose.  Just send me mail to join.
