One or two days of work for whom? E.g. did you have in mind a specific person (if so, who?), or a non-specific person with a specific skill set (if so, which skill set?)?
Well, it's a really rough estimate to be honest. I'd say one day for somebody who already did a Sandy/Ivy Bridge ThinkPad port. Two days for somebody who knows his way around Intel boards in coreboot. Maybe it can also be done in two days with autoport and asking questions in IRC (by somebody coreboot experienced who is skilled in C).
This doesn't account for hardware access (flashing, debugging) ofc.

I guess maybe a "Clone of: lenovo/t530" is enough.

I own a T430 and T420. It seems there is not a strong motivation for doing the T430/T530 port. Unlike the T420/T520, the obvious benefit of coreboot is it can replace the sandy bridge CPU with an ivy bridge one. What are the explicit benefits that coreboot can bring to the T430/T530 except opensource/security?
-Unlock RAM speed and WIFI whitelist removel? There are already Modded BIOS for this -Remove evil ME? Or improve the start time by some seconds? It seems there is hardly any significant performance improvement
