David,
you could add the search path to mkoctfile:

 From my mkoctfile:

: ${CPPFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp -I/sw/include -I/usr/X11R6/include"}
: ${INCFLAGS="-I/sw/include/octave-2.1.35 
-I/sw/include/octave-2.1.35/octave -I/sw/include"}
(if you have X11 installed somewhere other than /usr/X11R6, you'll have 
to specify the corresponding path.)

I'm not sure this is the proper place to fix it though, since 
plot/Makefile as well as Makeconf apparently has the correct path:
X_CFLAGS =  -I/usr/X11R6/include
For some reason it isn't used.

It seem this only partially solves the problem though, grab() and 
ginput() work but gzoom() and gtext() fails:

octave:33> gzoom()
gzoom: could not capture button events.
octave:34> gtext("hhh")
gtext: could not capture button events.
ans = 0

Haven't looked into this since I normally don't use XWindows.
