You're on the right track.  We do not have a public document that lists
all the necessary steps, but one general approach is to completely
duplicate/rename an existing port (m32r as a simple case), then hack on
it until it works for your port.  Another approach, for prototyping only,
is to replace the guts of an existing port, so the old name and build
infrastructure (Makefiles, configure*, compCGEN.cxx, etc.) can remain
unmodified.
