Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your response.
What is the Wiki you mentioned in your mail? So far, I've found only three pieces of information on coreboot web site:
http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation http://qa.coreboot.org/docs/doxygen/ http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual
Did I miss anything?
Boris

Could you recommend any manual which describe coreboot
porting process to new not supported platform? Does it exist at all?
The Wiki is an excellent source of information.
Could you provide rough effort estimate to port
coreboot to new unsupported platform?
That incredibly depends on the porter's skill set. However, I have seen the following times to be accurate in some cases.
New mainboard: ~ 1 person month (assuming you want features like ACPI, S3, ...) This can vary a lot between 1 day and many weeks
New cpu / chipset: ~ 6 - 12 person months
These estimates obviously don't include the time you need to obtain the documentation for your chipset, which in some cases can take several months, too.
