You will find colorforth one of the hardest systems to port.
Either you like colorforth very much, then you are best off
reimplementing it from specifications. (Those you have to
write mostly yourself).
Or, if you want some Forth and want to be able to change it, you
can start with something that has been written with
reimplementation/portability in mind, like my ciforth.
(Currently 80x86 (8 flavors), 6809, M16C, Dec Alpha)
