Are you asking about the sockets package? It looks to me like the
sockets package only supports AF_INET sockets at the moment. The socket
function allows you to create an AF_UNIX socket, but the bind and
connect functions only understand host and port arguments relevant for
AF_INET.

If you are comfortable with the option of writing your own C++ function
for Octave, then you can create a socket any way you like using the
system libraries.

If you are willing to test the in-development Python interface, then the
Python socket library should work.
