This seemed good so I pushed your change here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c2d1869a95ee).

The pkg commands all accept a -verbose option that prints information about what each command is doing. For pkg install, it shows the unpacking, configure, and make commands, but the compilation commands used for oct-files are still hidden behind mkoctfile.

I propose that pkg install -verbose should add --verbose to the MKOCTFILE environment variable so all compilation commands can be seen as well. This can be very useful for users to debug what's going on or to see the compilation commands in build logs on Debian buildds or other build systems.

I haven't looked at where the pkg improvement project is right now, but perhaps this can be pulled into that effort. I'll hold off pushing this to the main repository because I know there's been work done on pkg in a separate branch. Attaching a diff that worked for me with a test install of a Forge package.
