i don't think it's necessarily true that Poseidon doesn't have the abiltiy to make portals (though I could see an argument that the ability is limited to female mer-people, but that would require magic building). I think it is more of a situation that he was led to the specific location by Ariel, who had already been to Storybrooke, and therefore knew the way. Or maybe it was just that Ariel summoned Triton, which led him to the waters in Storybrook's bay.
