Depends on what type of port you're planning to do. If you're building from source,download the target ROM's source code,add Hashcode's device specific files to it and build. For a dirty port i.e teh easy way,take a ROM you're running now as well as the ROM you're porting. The rest of it is pretty much replacing stock stuff with target ROM stuff. Except for the build.prop,you'll have to edit that by hand. Search on XDA. There are many guides and even a handy batch file for dirty porting. But building from source is cleaner and more difficult and it depends on your own knowledge.
