If the portal is a turf, you could override its Enter() proc. Someone at some point is going to provide a bad code example that includes usr, so ignore it and give them a slap when that happens.

Anyway, your basic Enter() proc will look like this:
turf/special
  Enter(atom/movable/A)
    if(ismob(A))
      var/mob/M=A
      ... // do something
    return ..()

Basically all you need to do in there is check M's level; if it's higher than the threshold you set, return 1 (allowing entry), or 0 (no entry). You can use this technique for areas as well as turfs. If you want non-player mobs to pass through, use this line:
if(!M.client) return ..()

If the turf is a teleporter, then you'll also need to put in an Entered() proc for after they step on the turf, and that should do the teleporting.

lol, good luck, I gave up on making games... except 1... but as for that, I'd have to say... take it easy, if you take on too much at once, you're bound to give up.
