That's a related post from May 1998, which is 7.5 years ago.  Happily, 
things have changed since then!

In newer versions, this is supported.  For example, I use version 2.1.71 
and it does it just fine:

octave:1> zeros(2,3,4,2)
ans =

ans(:,:,1,1) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,2,1) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,3,1) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,4,1) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,1,2) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,2,2) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,3,2) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0

ans(:,:,4,2) =

  0  0  0
  0  0  0
