You can't without modifying the Makefile.  Probably all you need to do 
is modify the list of dependencies the default-octave.mk or 
stable-octave.mk Makefile fragment.

Except for a few packages (like GCC or fontconfig, I think), mxe-octave 
isn't really set up to use packages from the system, even when doing 
native builds.  It's really intended for building Octave and (nearly) 
all dependencies on systems that don't have up to date dependencies.

If you want to extend mxe-octave to do something different, then submit 
patches.
