I can install doctest on local Fedora with octave 6.1.1 (3926dcfde203 (stable)):

octave:1> pkg install -forge -verbose doctest
mkdir (/tmp/oct-mXvt3Q)
untar (/tmp/doctest-0.7.0-90IMx7.tar.gz, /tmp/oct-mXvt3Q)
For information about changes from previous versions of the doctest package, run 'news doctest'.
octave:2> pkg list
