Juan Pablo,

As far as I understand the difference between extra an main in the octave forge 
source tree
has somewhat lost its meaning with the transition from monholithic release to 
separate packages.

main used to contain packages of more general interest while extra used to 
contain those related
to more "niche" applications.

With the new distribution method for packages users won't even notice whether a 
package
is in the main or extra subtree.

I would say just develop the port in the svn repository wherever you prefer 
and when it's "somewhat functional" make a release.
