I think in sum it was about 3 - 4 months but you can not compare this because 
I had to do the whole port including the initial fr30 architecture port, 
mb91302 variant and a platform.
You now have in both cases a running archtitecture port (powerpc or fr30) and 
a variant that is very close to what you need. So most of the porting effort 
is already done. What you have to do hardly depends on the platform you have 
and the drivers you need.
What kind of evaluation board do you have ?

Yes, the architecture and variant part ;-)

You have to decide on your own (or ask ecoscentric if they have a commercial 
port ready to use for you). I would be glad to see another fr30 architecture, 
with powerpc you have an architecture port that is more established and 
tested...
