You do not need to be a commiter to maintain a port.

There are around 4000 unmaintained ports so you can choose one or more
of them or you can make a port for something that we don't have in the
Ports Collection.

The Porters Handbook
(/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html)
and /usr/ports/Mk/* are your references.

As for becoming a commiter, I'll let one of them explain the deep magic
involved :)
