Lots of info is missing, but most probably INVALID. Run revdep-rebuild - it will pick up what you need to rebuild to make things work with the new version of libgfortran.
Please run revdep-rebuild and reemerge octave. If this doesn't fix your problem please reopen bug and attach output of emerge -vp sys-devel/gcc emerge --info =sci-mathematics/octave-3.0.3
