I am not sure that would work if we intend to make a relocatable .app
bundle for OSX.

an app bundle is just a folder you can move around where you like through
the finder GUI which contains all executables, libraries and data files
required for the application to run.

How would you change the value of OCTAVE_HOME when the the bundle is moved?
