Matlab's corr() function accepts a NAME/VALUE pair of
"type"/("pearson"|"kendall"|"spearman") which determines the type of
correlation to compute.  Octave offers three individual functions "corr"
(pearson), "kendall", and "spearman".

It would be an easy project to expand the input validation in corr.m to look
for the type of correlation and then call the desired Octave function.
