I have a ceiling fan/light between 2 3-way switches and a 2 wire going to a porch lite.
All these wires come together in a junction box. Do I need a 14-3 to go to the ceiling
Fan also and what goes where? I'm at a loss.

Is this existing wiring or are you installing the wiring and switches now?

Probably one of the 3 ways will bring power up to the ceiling

One more question. If we add a regular switch for the porch light will that interfere with the 3 ways and how will that be wired in with all this.

No porch light switch will have no affect on ceiling fan/light. You can take cable to switch and then to light or you can take cable to light and use a switch leg to switch.
