70% of the intake port area is the general rule of thumb. Don't have any facts but I've heard that number thrown around serveral times.
Moving port opening lower reduces torque as the charge spends less time in the chamber
Moving the port up increases overlap. Good for top end power, not so good for low end light throttle.
Moving the port sides out increases port area, and decreases surface area to support the seal as it crosses the port.
A rounder port will make less power, but have a broader powerband.
