My experience is that it really depends on the housing. For a point and shoot I use a Casio and case and lube it very infrequently. My DSLR is a Nikon in a Subal housing with Ikelite strobes.
The Subal o-rings come out after each trip, and are very lightly lubed at the end of each day's shoot. Subal and others have said to store the o-rings off the housing so they do not develop a "flat" side. You also want to apply lubrication just prior to your dive, as grease attracts dirt more easily.
The process Miketsp describes above works fine for my point and shoot, but would be a disaster for my Subal housing and ports.
Good Luck,
Dan
