Just write a script that converts the output of octave to latex, and then runs reLyX. Or, use the CVS version of lyx (at your own risk). The CVS version of lyx have a builtin interface to octave, namely you can type an expression in mathed, press a key, and the result from octave automatically appears in lyx.
