In my mind if there's only one point of contact like a free moving pintle, then bipod recoil should be used, if it's a fixed mount where the weapon can be locked onto the target area, like a proper tripod allows, then tripod recoil should apply.
Firing ports by their very nature shouldn't allow any reduction in recoil, unless specifically mated to the weapon - the M2 Bradley and M231 for example, or an AK which has been locked into the port of a BTR or BMP. In these cases a reduction of one point may be justifiable, but range would still be limited to Close as per the rules, and accuracy further modified by movement of both vehicle and target.
