MATPOWER does not implement any stochastic optimization. All of it's variables and parameters are assumed to be deterministic. However, one approach to handling probabilistic parameters is to simply do many, many deterministic optimizations, where each one involves, for each probabilistic parameter, drawing a value from the corresponding distribution. Such an approach could use MATPOWER's OPF as a subroutine to solve the deterministic sub-problem.
