I need to find probabilities of each class for the implementation of a decision tree, in other words, the calculation of entropy and information gain. So, is there a function to get the count of each of several distinct items from a column?

I don't fully understand your question, but I think you should be able to use the unique command to get the counts of the distinct elements of a vector.

Once you have the grouping number, you can use histc() or histcounts() over the number of different groups in order to get the counts.
If you have plain numeric variables instead of categorical arrays or something similar, then:
[uvals, ~, uidx] = unique(YourArray(:,colidx));
bincounts = histc(uidx, 1:length(uvals));
The unique value uvals(K) occurs bincounts(K) times.
If your values already happen to be positive integers starting from 1, then:
bincounts = accumarray( YourArray(:, colidx), 1);
after which the positive integer value K occurs bincounts(K) times
