Portal fantasy has the potential to be much more based than normal fantasy. The Wizard Knight is a good example of how you can deconstruct the genre and make something excellent and unique while still following the convention. It also has the benefit of stopping novice authors from doing a poorly-executed in medias res introduction while showcasing their setting to the reader at the same time. In most good fiction, even when it starts in a fantasy world, the setting in the first paragraphs (or at least when it begins to become concrete) is very familiar on some level. Basically, it's a way to introduce your story that is very hard to fuck up, but you have to put a lot of thought into how it's going to carry through to the rest of the story.
