IMO, oil thins the grease out, and you're better off without the oil port. If the hub needs maintenance / lubrication, you can disassemble and rebuild it, it's not that hard to do and there are SA rebuild instructions available on the web.

I don't think that it would be a problem to unscrew the SA indicator spindle and squirt some oil in through the axle-as long as it is lightweight oil. If you do not have an oil port you need to put some light oil in every now and then for proper lubrication.
