No, not since 2009.

There is no "Octave engine". Octave itself is the engine. Matlab
provides its own "engine" in order to get around its licensing
restrictions. Octave doesn't have these licensing restrictions, so it
doesn't need a separate differently-licensed engine. "Octave" and
"Octave engine" are both one and the same.

AIUI, you're asking for extra mex functions in Octave. I don't think
this has been implemented, but if you're interested in implementing
these extra mex functions in Octave, I can help you get started and
show you where in the Octave source code these extra functions would
need to go.
