 Hope this helps.

 How much time did you save by porting compared to running/boating? Did it save you 10 minutes? 30? Do you value your time? Tip taking the time you saved/recovered into consideration. That's what you're receiving. The mana spent by the porter is irrelevant. 
The time saved by the recipient for ports/rezzes is why those services came to be a  service valued enough to tip for to begin with.
