I guess it depends on the source only. If the autobuilder finds the source
in main, it builds the package. If its not in main, it does not know about
it. If your package creates also a contrib deb, I think the source can not
be in main, right? So it will not be autobuilt.
You were asking for geomview? Its in the needs-build list on m68k, buildd
tried it but (seems the web interface does not work anymore?):

Hmm? lesstif-dev was installed...
If this package also builds with xforms, you have to mention it with the
build-depends? Plus, I think (policy experts correct me) the source does not
belong into main. But I think in that case, you should compile it yourself
on an m68k box (or maybe ask the xforms maintainer)
