I have never ported an operating system kernel, so this is merely educated
speculation based on the amount of time I have seen other ports take. I
would say given someone who is familiar with the ARM ISA and is comfortable
with BSD kernel internals and using the FreeBSD/NetBSD arm ports as a
reference -- count on something like 1200-2000 man hours.

Again, that's just a rough guess, but it's definitely not a small or easy
project.
