Yes, use jessie-backports and apt install octave.

Octave itself is backported to Debian stable, but not any of the Forge
packages, so the best option is to probably install them as root after
installing octave as above.
You will also need to apt install the liboctave-dev package.
# octave --eval "pkg install -global -forge PKG"
