It is not a work port that's for sure. It could be for a pressure relief or it could be for another inlet or outlet connection.
Most Prince valves that I am familiar with have a top and side port for the inlet and outlet (return to tank). You can use one or the other for your connection. You plug the one you don't use. This makes it easier to make a connection in close quarters.

I have added a grapple to my loader on a similar machine and purchased an open center 4 way valve from e-bay. The hydraulics on this system flows like a series circuit. Fluid is alway moving therefore you simply tap in and out with another valve. I have a Koyker 160 on my machine and here is a pic of the added valve. My knowledge of hydraulics is limited but this is fairly straighforward depending on what you are trying to do?
