Figured it out. To add a new page within the administration portal and keep the administration template do the following.

1. Open /skin1/single/home.tpl
2. Add an else if statement similar to the following

3. {elseif $main eq "test"}{include file="test.tpl"}

4. Create a new template in /skin/test.tpl
5. Create a new administration page /admin/test.php and add the following code

6. <?php
   require "./auth.php";
   require $xcart_dir."/include/security.php";
   
   $smarty->assign("main", "test");
   $smarty->assign("tpldir", $tpldir);
   
   include $xcart_dir."/modules/gold_display.php";
   func_display("test.tpl",$smarty);
   ?>

7. The second property in the $smarty->assign method calls the expression assigned in the elseif statements in /skin1/single/home.tpl
