I am looking at writing a new driver for DPDK for a NIC that is currently
not supported. What is the best way to start this? Is the a porting
guide? Or should I look at existing drivers as examples?

Joubert,
By all means, look at the existing PMDs. It also helps if you have an existing kernel driver to use/modify (preferably BSD based). That way you can have a baseline to compare against.
At least, that is method I used.
