The alias command sets up a variable that applies only in your shell.
It won't help octave find gnuplot.  You probably need to set up a symbolic
link to gnuplot in some directory on your path.  Try:

ln -s /Applications/gnuplot/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot \
/usr/local/bin/gnuplot

If this complains about permission precede this with a sudo and enter your
password when prompted.
