No I do not, so I am guessing at this point it hasn't been porting yet?

It is possible in 1 of 2 ways:
1. Someone who has official stock 6.0 roots it and uses commands in a terminal app with root permissions to get copies of all the necessary partitions. It hasn't been reported by anyone if any root methods work yet, and there's only been one user who has reported on XDA actually getting the OTA update to 6.0 so far.
It used to be that just the act of rooting it modifies the system.img partition, but I don't know what it's like under Marshmallow since SuperSU doesn't modify it from what I know, so I don't know what Kingroot does if it works. Kingroot is reported to work on the D855 variant's stock Marshmallow release. Being that the most likely way of rooting it might be Kingroot and there are plenty of reasons not to want to use the Chinese app or deal with any possible side-effects of it, #2 would be preferred.
2. Wait for the KDZ to be released, which usually takes up to a week or more. The second has generally been preferred as it's more reliably getting the original stock purely untouched partition images, whereas #1 someone can modify the contents either knowingly or unknowingly before capturing an image of the necessary partitions.
It may additionally be a little more difficult to find the KDZ when it's released as LG changed things so unofficial tools don't appear to be able to grab the latest stock KDZ any more, and we shall only see if the official tools will even grab the proper new KDZ as well.
For myself, I've restored what's necessary to be able to check/download OTAs on the rooted ROM I'm using so that I'll know when my IMEI would potentially allow downloading the proper KDZ. When the OTA shows up I'll then retry the official tools. Right now the official tools don't even find the 35B KDZ.
It could be that we'll have to wait for the official tools to be updated as well if they decide to. Sorry for any TL;DR!

Porting is only for taking a ROM made for one phone/variant and making it work for another phone/variant. Doesn't apply in this case.

One more thing. Once it's available to flash as an updated rooted stock ROM, they'll be available in the usual places (Development).
