Short answer is I don't know.

I believe you can configure octave as follows:

        ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-dl

Octave-forge should then build and link against this and just work, but 
I've
never tried.  Let us know if it works.

Building octave-forge into the static octave binary is more difficult
since it involves copying or linking the C++ files into the 
DLD-FUNCTIONS
directory of the octave tree and modifying octave's makefile so that it
will build them there.
