you don't need them both, but if you port the intake and not the exhaust, the exhaust becomes a bottle neck. If you port the exhaust and not the intake, its not a full street port, although it will show very slight improvement. A full street port, along with a header, and a more free flowing exhaust is a great combination.

Once the engine is apart how hard is it to actually port it yourself using the templets for a first timer? Can a beginner actually do a good job on it or do you recomend having a pro go for it?

Kind of a waste not to do both while its apart dontcha think?
A beginner can do it if he has a steady hand, has the right tools, and knows what the finished product should look like. If you have any bad plates or rotor housings to practice on, I would try it on those first.
