So far as I know, the portal object itself cannot be entered or exited. While you can name the portal and try to capture its focus state using GetLayoutObjectAttribute(portal_name; "hasFocus" or "Source" or "ContainedObjects"), an OnObjectExit script setting this value will not fire when you move into or out of the portal. Running that script on entry from every other enterable object on the layout would be a terribly kludgy workaround.
I'd be happily surprised to hear that a portal is exit- and enter-able. What are you trying to accomplish? There may be another way to get there.

Is there a script trigger that will run when a user clicks (with mouse) anywhere outside the portal? I tried OnObjectExit, but this runs each time user moves to the next portal row, whereas I only want the script to run when he exits the portal. Thanks Peter
