I am very interested in helping you bring DICOM support in octave.
GDCM is a very good choice (and I believe it's used by VTK/ITK). I
have access to an older Matlab 2007b at the lab and will help out as
much as I can. From what I can tell Matlab simply follows the standard
NEMA dictionary conventions documented here:

ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/2009/09_06pu3.pdf

The NEMA dictionary specifies names both with and without spaces i.e. :

(0028,0008) Number of Frames NumberOfFrames IS 1

I suspect gdcm contains the dictionary somewhere already. There are PR
releases from Matlab that indicate that they follow the NEMA
standards. I see a DICOM dictionary file installed with a R2007b that
looks like a straight dump from the standard. It contains
"NumberOfFrames". This may help:

Let me know how I can be helpful.

Cheers!
