If you post patches here, it may help you find like-minded people who may want to join forces and help you complete the port, so by all means.

If I pick up a partially completed series and carry it in my tree is a separate matter. The patch has to be cleanly done (i.e. without too many #ifdefs) for longer-term maintainability, and it has to be clear that the changes do not affect other platforms negatively.
