I'm working on a website, the only listing of its page appears as a supplemental result in Google.
My question is whether a page appearing as a supplemental can be re-included in the main index if it becomes "active". Are the two sets of databases independent and can a page migrate from the forsaken index into the main one?

I think you need to rephrase your question.

As I understand it supplemental results are 2 pages or more from the same website for any given search term, usually indented in the serps.

You don't say whever the supplemental page is the site's home page or a subsidiary page.

Usually a supplemental result indicates a page that google has found (somehow) but the link to the page is no longer valid. For example the linking page may have been deleted or only temporary, or in one case I have seen the number of links on the linking page was far too many (1000s) for Google to follow.

Usually these supplemental results disappear from SERPS, so I would suggest trying to get Google to revisit your site. If you have access to them, check your logs to see if Google is visiting.

Another simple check is to see if the page has any PR in the Google toolbar
