1. What is the meaning of the "octave-forge" string?

It's the name of the package you want to install.

Is this some
master RPM somewhere?

No.

2. The man page for yum lists the functions "list", and "info,"
stating that they provide information on "available packages."
Available packages from where?

From the yum repositories you have defined in your yum configuration.

Read the yum guide: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/index.html
