It's not terribly hard. Read this:

And if there is a port that does something similar to the one you want, you can
copy your port off of it and modify it.
If I have got time maybe I try to dig into it. But as I do not have too
much experience in packaging it might be difficult. We'll see.
We prefer that people have communication over the mailing list or via Trac.
By Trac you mean Tickets, right?
Yes, at http://trac.macports.org/.
But because MacPorts is an open-source project and in my experience, most people
contribute scratch their own itch and provide the ports that they are interested
in or the features they want. It's not like people get paid to get stuff done
in here, so the way to get things done is to contribute work yourself. Or offer
to pay someone :)
Agreed, but in my experience most people are open to suggestions and
"improvements". If you do not stamp your feet and say "I want this and
that", but rather ask if it was possible.
True. The style of delivery of a request makes a big difference in getting it
done :)
