I never ever used MacOS but when I read
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/octave382

..The "-x11" variant has built-in FLTK graphics which use X11 rather
than the default Aqua. The "-qtmac" variant builds a GUI which uses Qt
on Aqua, while the "-qtx11" variant builds an X11 Qt GUI...

so I guess you have to install octave-qtmac or octave-qtx11.

Does this help?
