So I recently got a new computer and the motherboard doesn't have a PS2 port:

and all I have is a mouse/keyboard combo that uses these ports. Is it possible to move a PS2 port from my older computers that have either of the following motherboards:

and use them? Or do I need to buy a new mouse and keyboard?
 
^ Agree. You can't solder a PS/2 port onto a board that does not even have them setup on the board in the first place. It would be easier and most likely cheaper to just replace the keyboard and mouse. most if not all are USB anymore in the first place. While you can get adapters to go from PS/2 to USB I have had some devices over the years that just did not work with them for what ever reason.
