No, this is a dirty hack.

For a good model on how to do it properly, look at Octave Forge, the package
containing additional tools for Octave:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/octave-forge/F-11/octave-forge.spec?view=markup

The architecture dependent packages are installed in
/usr/libexec/octave/packages/ and noarch packages in
/usr/share/octave/packages.

**

Use
 %{!?octave_api:%global octave_api %(octave-config -p API_VERSION || echo 0)}
to get the Octave api version, then you can
 Requires: octave(api) = %{octave_api}
(plplot uses this version)
