Digging up on the Paizo forums and the SRD, this is what I found:
"If used as part of a full attack action, attacks with a tail blade are considered secondary attacks."

On secondary attacks this is what I found: "Creatures with natural attacks and attacks made with weapons can use both as part of a full attack action (although often a creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam). Such creatures attack with their weapons normally but treat all of their available natural attacks as secondary attacks during that attack, regardless of the attack’s original type."

So... lets say your STR modifier is +4 and your BAB is +5 (no other things apply). You are dual wielding kukris and have a tail blade, you have also have the two weapon fighting feat.
Your full attack routine is as follows.
+7 Main hand Kukri (+4STR, +5 BAB, -2 Two weapon penalty) for 1d4+4 DMG.
+7 Off-hand Kukri (+4STR, +5 BAB, -2 Two weapon penalty) for 1d4+2 DMG.
+4 Secondary Natural Attack with the Tail Blade (+4STR, +5 BAB, -5 Secondary Natural Attack penalty) for whatever damage-die-the-tail-blade-deals +2.
