Generally (what I consider) necessary skills in porting are pretty much debugging skills; most if not all of the needed pieces of software are already there and it is pretty much checking what does not work and figuring out why.
After that all that is needed is inserting/removing/changing something pretty trivial to remove the problem.

Most difficult thing is to understand how the build comes together; how the MER build system and libhybris interact and how the final filesystem image is created.
Reading and understanding the HADK is the way to start; https://sailfishos.org/wp-content/up...tKit-1.1.2.pdf
Also, the most valuable interactive resource is channel #sailfishos-porters on freenet.
