Actually, according to T:IBOX PICS: "While widescreen images are certainly preferred, we know there are times where a widescreen image just isn't possible. Some comic panels, for instance, are portrait-orientated, making it hard to get a widescreen image. Even so, if your aspect ratio is really small (meaning that the picture has significantly more height than width), you can test the limits of what the infobox code can handle."

So if a widescreen image is unattainable, then portrait is ok. This is also somewhat acknowledged, with regards to character images, at T:GTI. We also have Template:Narrow pic for this purpose. Although in this instance, widescreen is required, as Shambala has pointed out.
