There is a matlab/octave interface to it. Look at the following reference on http://www.math.uic.edu/~jan/ I don't know more about this since I am also at the moment collecting information on how to solve a large system of polynomial equations.
Yun Guan and Jan Verschelde: PHClab: A MATLAB/Octave interface to PHCpack. The abstract and paper . Take a look at the Poster. In IMA Volume 148: Software for Algebraic Geometry, edited by Michael E. Stillman, Nobuki Takayama, and Jan Verschelde. Pages 15-32, Springer- Verlag, 2008.
