Set up a fixture to hold the cylinder liner at the angle you want the
port. Drill a hole to the largest diameter that fits your square port
and file to final shape.

If you are persnickety then leave the sleeve bore a few tenths
underside and lap of hone to final diameter after finish filing the
ports.
