There are very infrequent trains that take about half an hour (Like 2 a day - both around lunchtime - I would guess they coincide with the ferry but wouldn't be in the least surprised if they don't))

There are frequent buses.

The train station is at the port - I don't think the buses go all the way to it.

trains to heysham connect with the daytime boat sailing - see http://www.northernrail.org/pdfs/timetables/20 0804/07.pdf
buses from Lancaster serve Combermere Road in Heysham, which is about 10-15mn walk from the port. See

As an aside, the rail journey planner shows a train at about 1630 from Lancaster to Heysham.

Look at the details though - you go to Wigan, then to Liverpool, then on the ferry to Douglas and another ferry back to Heysham, arriving next day.

You could walk it in that time.
