What architecture are you considering porting to? I presume an arm based one
as you mailed this list, if it's not then you might want to try the tech-port
mailing list, or the list relevant to the cpu you're looking at.

Generally it's more a matter of getting the technical docs on the hardware
you're considering. Most source code is available from cvs, details are on
www.netbsd.org under how to get NetBSD. (we've still got the sa11x0 port to
merge in :)
Cheers,
