I have an oprutunity to buy a NIB Taurus 41 mag with a 2.25" brl ported and I was wondering how much of a handfull this would be?
 
Can't answer you for the .41 but if the urge to buy the gun takes you over be sure to let us know, as I have considered a 4" ported Tracker in .41 for a while now.

I only have one ported gun, a Taurus M85 CH-UL, but the porting seems to work quite well when comparing the same loads in a M36 S&W snub.
 
You don't mention whether the 415 is Ti or stainless. I had a Ti one (20.9 oz) - it was feisty, but less horrendous than one might think. (Run a search here in revolvers for "415" and I'm sure you'll find me talking about it.) The ribber grips together with the porting made it bearable. The light weight made it not so much of a fast-firing revolver, though, and it certainly got attention on the range.

I got into the 415 Ti at a phenomenal price ($299 brand new) and sold it (for more than that) when I realized I didn't really have a use for it since I found myself carrying "nicer made" guns by other makers. (I already had fat-bored semi-autos that were more pleasant to shoot, and my .357 2 3/4" Security-Six and .41 4 5/8" Blackhawk were better for hiking carry. For me, that is.)
