Are there any security implications from posting large enough portraits
on the web given that now current iris recognition technologies are
good enough to simply utilize an ordinary digital camera's snap of
enough resolution?

I am not sure what you are worried about here, that someone might take
the photo and make a fake eye from it, and there by get into secured
areas?

Me I am not worried.

Any biometric scanner that's not a toy checks for more than an image -
temperature, pulse, muscle motion, narrow band color spectrums, etc.

You definitely should be!
This was demonstrated in a James Bond movie. I saw it!
