The porter scene has two important purposes. First, it provides comic relief and an opportunity for the company clown to do his stuff. Also, it gives the actors playing Macbeth and Lady Macbeth a chance to change costume.

In Macbeth, I presume.

Because of the porter's low social status. His speech would not be "elevated," and prose was a way to emphasize this fact.
