Smoking d15z1 has oil on exhaust port of header
before starting up my d15z1 swap i replaced the header on it and found that one of the exhaust ports was completely coated in oil
i checked the top of the spark plug to see if it was covered with oil but it was dry
how else would it be getting in there?

You might be able to pull the valve cover and inspect the valves and find whats wrong. Unfortunately you're usually stuck pulling the head and taking it to a machine shop to have it checked.

is this a project that would be easier to have a shop do? and how much would a fair price be for this type of thing?

The oil is probably a leak by if stored on it's side etc, especially as you say the plug looks ok.
