Deportation means the removal of someone already having entered the country. If you're removed from port, it's just that, a removal.

It depends. I don't know the specifics of the country you were denied entry to, but for the US, if you are denied entry at a port of entry in the US (all US ports of entry are in the US except for preclearance at certain Canadian and foreign airports), the officer has the choice of allowing you with voluntarily depart or to remove you. If the officer allows you to voluntarily depart and you do so according to their terms, you are not considered to have been removed, but the officer does not have to allow you this option. Other countries may be different, and you would have to look at what the procedure was in the particular country in your particular case.
