You should open a bug or patch report at the octave tracker [1].  Then,
to actually submit a patch, the possible ways are, in order of "ideality":

  1. have a clone of the statistics package somewhere from where we can
    import your changes;
  2. attach a cset file with your changes [2] which we can import with hg;
  3. attach a simple patch file;
  4. attach your modified kmeans function file.
