As a side note, if what you are trying to port is a pure PHP project using composer, I'm not sure creating pa port of it is really a good idea. The whole idea of composer is that it is handling dependencies and also can be configured by the user with various tweaks. It is preferable to "git clone" the project and manually run "composer install" (or whatever is needed).
That's how I use what I want to port myself. But this is not very user friendly for those types which simply want to install a package and play with it.
On the other hand, if what you're trying to port is a bigger project with a php+composer part making a port could make sense, but why upstream is not creating a proper distribution with all required files?
It's a plugin for the roundcube webmail package.I don't like such external package things which can not be used by a distro-packaging mechanism... and saying that it is the responsability of upstream to provide something which can be used by a distro-packaging mechanism fails unfortunately at the reality (keeping this up-to-date in terms of security or changing APIs is a nightmare for a tiny hobby-project or something which is "good enough as it is, no real development going on"-stuff, so I understand if they tell that the install instructions include the run of composer)...
