It depends on the nature and extent of the update.  I submitted an update
to a port that I maintain, and it was committed in under 21 minutes.
Conversely, I submitted a patch to one of the general port Makefiles, and that
took about 45 days.  Even though it was a very small patch, I presume the
committers were more cautious with a change that could affect a lot of
users.
