I think a better answer is probably:

   \newcommand{\gk}[1]{{\fontspec{Porson}#1}}

(Note the extra set of braces.)

Better still, if you're doing this often, I believe you could say:

   \newfontfamily{\porson}{Porson}
   \newcommand{\gk}[1]{{\porson #1}}

This saves fontspec having to re-evaluate the font name every time,  
so it is more efficient.
