Is there any particular type of project you have in mind (writing port
files, working on codebase) ?

Firstly you need to have a OS X machine. Install Xcode and xcode
command line tools. Once you have installed this, you can install
macports from source by following the steps at:
https://www.macports.org/install.php#source

You can find a more detailed guide here: https://guide.macports.org/.

Then you can try out Tcl tutorials at
https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html and go through
the codebase so you will get some idea. Don't worry if you don't
understand anything, you can always ask for help.

If you have any queries you can drop a mail in the ML or we also
available on IRC at #macports on freenode network.
