Eh, yes. But fort77's description reads like this:
"The fort77 script invokes the f2c command transparently, so it can be
used like a real Fortran compiler.  It can be used to compile Fortran, C
and assembler code, and to link it with the f2c libraries."

Anyway, the fortran compiler is named 'gfortran' and it's highly
unlikely you want fort77 and f2c, ever.

No. 
        apt-get install octave3.2 
will install octave3.2.

        apt-get build-dep octave3.2
will install the build-dependencies for octave3.2. You can then compile
Octave 3.4.
