I saw the work of CNC heads at the autosport. Frankly nothing short of awesome. I think the porting was about £550 (can't quite remember) but when I've got the cash, that's who i'll be using.
Or you could get a dremel out.......

I'd say have a go ona spare/scrap head, you can't go far wrong but you'll be pissed if you fuck your perfectly good head up
A dremel and some different grade flapper wheels will do the job, and by matching them all your doing is making the inlet manifold ports the same size as the head, and removing the casting marks so the air flows more effeciently
