The licensing may not be a problem, but according to the savannah
site:

  Savannah aims to be a central point for development, maintenance and
  distribution of official GNU software. In additions, for projects
  that are free software but not part of the GNU project we provide
  savannah.nongnu.org.

so unless Octave Forge becomes an "official GNU project" then I think
the proper place for it would be savannah.nongnu.org rather than
savannah.gnu.org, assuming you wanted to host it on savannah.
