It's in extras-devel, but you also need to make a couple of symlinks for the libs before it will run.

Have anybody tried SageMath? I heard it was ported to android phone. Is it possible to do with the Maemo devices also?

I would really donate quite some money for such a port...

So, it took me a while to figure out how to install this since I'm not a particularly experienced user.
However, to help future octave-wanting-people, here's what I did:
First off, make sure you have rootsh installed.
1.) Download the ARM .deb package for texinfo here. Download this to some directory on your N900.
2.) Install the texinfo package by going (in terminal) to the directory you downloaded it to and typing:
(the [VERSION] represents a version - at the time of writing the file is actually called texinfo_4.8.dfsg.1-4maemo2+0m5_armel.deb )
3.) Install Octave:
If you have extras-devel enabled, this should work simply by typing:
4.) Make some symlinks (Octave looks for these libraries with ".so" at the end, not ".so.3gf" so it can't find them - I think... I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!).
5.) Optionally, install gnuplot so you can plot things
I hope this works - it did for me. Now I just need to know how to install extra toolboxes...
EDIT:
You will probably, as mentioned above, have to install "less" as well:
Also, it would appear that octave packages can be installed by downloading from the internet (octave sourceforge) and the doing the following from within octave:
I now have a working octave and gnuplot with control systems toolbox, which is a very handy tool for my engineering course
