Not true. Portkeys can work in Hogwarts - cf., the end of Goblet of Fire. It's only Apparation that doesn't work.

In HPMOR, portkeys do not work in Hogwarts (chapter 63).

Right. I was thinking of the "rip the playing card" portkey, but in retrospect that said to get beyond the wards first.

It seems reasonable for the Headmaster to be able to make portkeys that can bypass those wards.
