Just send a diff to this mailing list with a sensible subject line (like
"update net/foo to X.Y.Z") and Cc the maintainer if there is one.
Mind the list netiquette and make sure the diff does not get mangled by
your mail client (try first to send the diff to yourself and check that
you can apply it.)
https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html
A committer will then review the diff and provide further guidance.
Here you can find some information on how to do work with CVS (making
sure the tree is updated and how to generate a diff). The page is more
about base than ports, but the working is the same.

(or you can use the git mirror on codeberg or github)
