Omicron looks exactly the same as the English o (it's not visually distinguishable in most typefaces) so it doesn't matter much, but upsilon is an "ee" sound usually, not an "oo" like in "actually" and "executable", so it wouldnt' work exactly. It would read "actially execeetable".
EDIT: For completeness, the full transliteration (or as close to it) would be "άξουαλι πόρταμπολ εξεκιούταμπολ". The extra "o" in "portabol" and "execiutabol" is actually a schwa, I think, so it can be omitted.
Upsilon is admittedly an "i" sound in Modern Greek, but in Attic Greek (which is what I studied, sorry) it did have the "oo" sound.
Edited: I missed the pi and rho completely though, my bad
Ah yes, you are correct!
