Gentoo and Debian use individual packages, although I admit that Gentoo's
octave-forge.eclass looks scary to me (I don't understand the need for
updating the package database themselves). 

http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/science/browser/overlay/eclass/octave-forge.eclass


http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Octave
suggests that Fedora does the same, however
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/octave-forge/F-9/octave-forge.spec?view=markup
uses the bundle and then hands it package by package to pkg.m.

All in all, packages requiring 3.1.50 shouldn't be a problem.
