An oil port (or ports) will be on the exterior of the BB. There is no need to disassemble anything to see them. Their presence, or lack there of, will help date the bike.

The most common will be on the bottom of the BB and typically has a screw in it. Its purpose is a drain hole. The second one would be on top of the BB. It will have a nipple for inserting the oil. Like this picture,
