For porting Sailfish, you have to port both libhyrbis and sailfish on the exact software of the phone?

yes, the image contains script that checks that its being installed on Nexus 4 (Mako) and quits if the hardware is not Mako.
You could unpack the image, change the script, repack the image - and get it flashed. But, fairly sure it wont even boot (bootloaders differ)
