Oracle GeoRaster is a non-free format, therefore according to the docs
"This driver supports reading and writing raster data in Oracle Spatial
GeoRaster format (10g or later). The Oracle Spatial GeoRaster driver is
optionally built as a GDAL plugin, but it requires Oracle client
libraries. "

AKA, you need to build/get the plugin yourself using libraries from
Oracle. You may need to build GDAL from source, hopefully it's more like
the MrSid and ECW plugins that only require the plugin to built separate.

GDAL mailing list might be able to help with more specifics.
