Yes. One needs to navigate to this page on the files section of
octave-forge (there's also other places for even older packages)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/Individual%20Package%20Releases/

and look for an older version of the package that has the function.
However, if memory does not fail me, the API for the waitbar in the
miscellaneous package was different from the one in Matlab.
