Can you Apparate Within Hogwarts? How about Portkeys?

My guess is that this may be taught in 6th year . . . sort of like 
Driver's Ed, where you learn the rules so that you're "ready" when 
you're old enough to actually get behind the wheel.

But, I was also thinking--Crouch Jr. turned the Triwizard cup into a 
portkey; Dumbledore makes a portkey to transport Harry and the 
Weasleys at Christmas, and Harry back again after the disaster at the 
MOM . . . I know that you cannot apparate at Hogwarts, but if 
portkeys are so easy to make . . . why don't people just use them, 
then? It's obviously not just a perk for the Headmaster, since Crouch 
Jr. made one, so . . . what's stopping ill-wishers from port-keying 
in and out of the grounds? I mean, even if you need some kind of 
permission to enter the grounds, theoretically you can leave at any 
time, right?
