Heh, I've always been enclosing my portals, too, since there was a bug in the first version of them when the nether was brand new that they would occasionally, very rarely, leak a ghast.Also, keep in mind that your portals will occasionally 'leak' zombie pigmen now. I had already been enclosing my portals in their own rooms (because I felt that was a no-brainer) so this was ultimately not an issue, but if you have 'naked' portals you might want to keep that in mind.
