In fact I jumped from the wall to the tower of Shurugeon Castle, threw out all the items of furniture from D'Soto's room, and then started stacking them.
I believe if one had the patience, one could sit around and wait for a bird to fly over the particular place one wanted to gain access to, cast the create portal spell on the bird and then teleport to the portal once the bird had left the spot. That has helped me when in water: cast the spell on a fish and then teleport there. Also with the help of roaches and rats one can easily bypass gates.
