Well, I don't use mac_portacl at all on this host, and there is no
sysctl OID security.mac.portacl.rules:

# sysctl security.mac.portacl.rules
sysctl: unknown oid 'security.mac.portacl.rules'

I could probably *make* it work with mac_portacl - however, I would
much prefer to get a solution which doesn't need special kernel
config etc.
