I've never seen a laptop with game port. No bother, use a USB controller.

I use a Dell Inspiron 8100. It's got a NVIDIA mobile GeForce2 which does
the job pretty well. No game ports (even on the docking station), but USB
is included in the docking station, so I just keep the wheel plugged into
that.

Don't think so, but you could try a USB converter.
