Not to discourage you from moving up to MacTeX, but
another option would be to switch to the regular GFS
Porson font:

http://www.greekfontsociety.org/pages/en_typefaces19th.html

and use XeTeX, as here:

%&program=xelatex
%&encoding=UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{GFS Porson}

\begin{document}

Σημεῖόν
ἐστιν, οὗ
μέρος
οὐθέν.

\end{document}
