In one of the descriptions it was mentioned that the homestead update contains a new opcode and other changes that are not backward compatible. Thus a hardfork will be required. What is a process of switching to the new consensus rules? Is it a given block or something dynamic (e.g. as soon as 75% of the miners are signaling support by some meta information in the block)

Homestead will begin at block 1,150,000 which will happen at midday on pi day.
Switching to homestead can be done by updating your ethereum client to a version which contains the homestead changes.
