Yes, you'll need to add a new section. My preference would be to add 
"Extentions to Fortran 95", possibly with a "G77 compatibility" subsection. 
IIRC g77 implements [some of] these functions for compatibility with 
something else, so that would be a better subsection caregory.

My knowledge of texinfo is limited to making copy/paste/modify changes to the 
existing manuals, so I'm afraid I cant help you much with the formatting 
side.
