Ben,

I think the OP is not interested in a GUI for Octave but rather in 
building a GUI for his own octave code.

If my understanding is correct he might be interested in trying out QtHandles:
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/QtHandles-Qt-based-toolkit-with-uicontrol-uipanel-support-tp3887875.html

I have not tried it myself, though.
