Do you already have MacPorts installed on your system ?

You can find the guide at [1]. The Idea list can be found at [2].

You can either start with contributing to the core behind macports
i.e., macports-base[3] or add/update existing portfiles (recipes to
install packages) i.e., macports-ports[4].

To get started with contributing to macports-base, we have an
introductory video[5] which will explain about the codebase very well.

To jump into creating or working on existing portfile, our guide on
portfile development[6] is a good starting point. You may also read
existing portfile in our macports-ports repository[4].
