My guess would be that there are no standard techniques for this, simply because the job of "porting" is so unspecified. The software part of it will range from a few hours or days to port a project from one CPU to a different one from the same family (and redesigned PCB to go with it), to what effectively amounts to a complete rewrite from scratch if you port to a different CPU, with different peripherals and a different RTOS.

The biggest difficulty we face is in conveying to the client the
needed time based on perfect estimates.

There ain't no such thing as a perfect estimate.
