Funny, I never gave that a thought. Any idea which port I would have to open?

Have you made sure that your mic is set to capture sound via alsamixer?
Run alsamixer in a terminal and hit tab to get to capture devices. Then have a gander at what is selected. You need to make sure your mic is selected as the capture device. Otherwise, it may have defaulted to something other than your mic. On my system it chooses the first CD-ROM for the capture device for some reason.
Also, make sure that you have mic boost on as well. You can mute the mic in the Playback section as well so you don't hear your own voice as well. When you run the skype test call you should bear better results.
