If you're using POSIX compliant APIs in your application, it should be
straight-forward. More than that one would have to know what kind of
application you are porting. (Porting kernel code is entirely
different, though.)

In application space, htons and htonl are the common methods. Generally
you only care about endianness when dealing with data being exchanged,
and normally you just need network byte order which is handled by htonl
and htons. If you have other needs, you may need to implement it
yourself. There are macros, _BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN which will
report the native byte order for the machine.

Not that I'm aware of. Again, if you take care to use POSIX compliant
APIs, then there might not need to be any change at all.
