These articles have 99% of the information you need:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing-ports/index.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

Since there's no maintainer, you may want to consider volunteering to
maintain it.

Generally, I open a PR.  If I don't hear back from someone within a week
or so, I'll ping the mailing list asking a committer to look at it, but
usually someone jumps in and takes care of it.
