You can pass category-id (cat=3) if using categories such as:

query_posts("post_type=portfolio&cat=3&paged=".get_query_var('paged'));

If there are custom taxonomies (for ex: taxonomies name is 'actor') the syntax would be such as:

$args = array(
    'post_type'=> 'movie',
    'actor'    => 'Bruce Campbell, Chuck Norris',
    'order'    => 'ASC'
);
query_posts( $args );

Although WP_Query is recommended approach instead of query_posts
