VGA is the successor to the EGA port. The VGA port used to be the only way to hook up monitors to a computer. It was only recently, the past 5 years or so, that digital flat panels have overtaken CRT monitors completely. The digital panels can use the successor to VGA, the DVI port. Many digital flat screen panels (and lots of flat screen TV's) still have a VGA input connector available as one of two or three different computer inputs.

The port that gives you a VGA output from your video card could be as simple as a basic ISA or PCI port all the way to a PCI Express or AGP Port.
Those would be the ports a graphic card would be seated in and then would output a VGA signal to the monitor.
If you mean a VGA port as in the plug, then that would be a basic analog connection between a graphics card. It would be limited in it's resolution and refresh rate due to limited bandwidth and because of it's analog nature it's subject to interference in the display.
It's advantage would be that it's common and inexpensive and more then suitable for text or basic displays.
