It depends on what you can do, what you have and which direction you want to take.

Gerco has listed a lot about shooting. He failed to emphasise, do you have the talent to shoot porn that people will buy? Truth is few do, those that do earn good money and those that don't lose a lot of money. Before you flame me, think about it. Few people in this business can earn $1,000 for a days work. Except good shooters.

OK back to the question.

Do you have enough good traffic?
Because if you do, you can make a site very cheap and make a good living. If you don't then you need affiliates and the costs sky rocket. You main cost is content. If you want good content for the surfer to sign up $20,000 worth of DVD will do the trick. If you want to have content to give to affiliates you might find a DVD license that allows you to give it to affiliates, but it will soon be saturated in the affiliates/free sites area on the net.

Unless you give us a lot of info about what kind of site you want to create it's tough to answer the question.

How much does a car cost? A 20 year old Skoda or a top of the range bran new Lamborgini? I probably can't even spell Lamborgini let alone afford one.

What I do know is you can put up a site for $5,000 and make a profit within a few months. And do it legally.
