DragonflyBSD port procedure

[Sayed Mohammad Badiezadegan]

Thank you for all of your suggestions, but I want to contribute to the
DragonflyBSD project. Unfortunately, this is my first project, and I need
to know what the steps.

I'm interested in writing a manual like (
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/), but for DragonflyBSD.

I don't want to use Raven ports because I already installed it from the
source.
