Normally you would become active in the ports project, submitting ports and
patches, etc.  Then after some unspecified amount of time (hopefully) an
existing committer will nominate you for a 'commit bit', portmgr@ has to
approve that.  You then you work as a committer, but with a mentor approving
your work, eventually ending up committing things by yourself.

I've also been advised that joining #bsdports on EFnet and making yourself
known will help!
