No, in general all packages have to be reinstalled.

This should be trivial if you install Octave from a package manager.

This should also be very easy if you're using the Windows installer
which comes with a large set of packages preinstalled.

If you install Octave yourself from source, then yes you will have to
reinstall all of the packages using the new version of Octave.
