I would have suggested Debian unstable, but you require an rpm based distro, 
and Debian is not that.

Debian testing (etch) currently does not have octave-forge available (a few 
weeks and counting). I am just hoping that I do not have to use those 
functions any time soon.

I have no idea about SuSe (never used it), but Fedora or Mandriva ought to be 
good rpm based distros for you.
