It's described in full in the Porters Handbook at

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html

There's a short intro called "Quick Porting" in section 3 of that handbook:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html#quick-porting

I'd suggest you have a look at that section, give it a first cut
and ask additional questions in the list.
