I just tried a "yum install octave" (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/)
Although I have a working gnuplot on my system yum insists on trying to redownload and install it. Any way to prevent this? (I know that the yum default gnuplot that RHEL ships was obsolete so I had installed gnuplot manually from source after doing a 'yum remove gnuplot')

Because you installed from source, yum has no idea that gnuplot is installed. Consider uninstalling the source-built package and updating to an RPM installation, even one built from a Fedora SRPM, or download and install the other packages manually and do a forced installation.
And do note that if you just casually mix and match components from the latest source tarballs with RPM components, you may run into some nasty and undetected dependency and interactions which you can be the very excited first person to encounter.
