Try:

  r = x - floor(x./0x10000).*0x10000;

This should do the correct thing for negative numbers.  It is available
as mod.m in octave-forge (http://octave.sf.net).

The sample program examples/make_int.cc provides an integer type.  You
could modify it to do what you want.  For some reason I had to comment
out the line
        octave_value not (void) { ... }
but other than that it works.  

Note that this is a very limited example.  There is considerable work
required to turn this into something which does modulo arithmetic on
matrices.
