No.

Octave 1.1.1 supports dynamic linking on systems that have GNU dld.
For future releases, support for dld has been dropped in favor of
using OS-specific dynamic linking facilities.

In any case, the interface is not the same as Matlab's mex interface.
I have no plans to write the code for such an interface myself, but I
will consider including it if someone else writes a clean
implementation.
