Unless you have the source code to the game, you can't port it. You can run it via emulation if you have the binary - See Wine, Dosemu to run older games. If you want to port a game, most it seems are C/C++ and graphics intensive. Some maths and programming knowledge needed. See also portable libraries for games - Allegro, SDL.
