You have to make the inside of the box bigger to make up for the port displacement. Working with a port outside is much easier to tune and work with.

Yes that is all you do, also remember to add the thickness of the port aswell (ex.3/8").

Just to add another question to this topic. Do you put the port flat on the wall or do you have it sticking about a inch or 2 inside the box?

Usually flat on the inside wall, but if you put a couple inches in the box (for room lets say) make sure you allow that extra when measuring youre internal volume.
