It was "less than $1.3 million": http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-07-23-ubisoft-says-wii-u-ports-costing-under-USD1-3-million
For a game like Bayonetta, I think it would really suffer from outsourcing a port though. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ on Vita seems to be an outsourced port, because it supposedly runs horribly on the system. And like Bayonetta, it's a fast paced hack 'n' slash that needs to run in 60 fps to be truly appreciated. A cheap rush job wouldn't do the sequel any favours.
