I wonder if Konami preferrred making their own home ports, cause if there was a home port it would've had to been thru Acclaim.

No. There was an actual dream level with evil donuts and a giant bowling ball.

It was once available (along with X-Men Arcade) on PSN and Xbox Live.

At the time, LJN held the home console rights to The Simpsons and X-Men. It's why two of Konami's greatest beat 'em ups never received home console ports.

I actually do recall reading something like this, about how konami did not care to go for home ports because accliam would just try to take credit for their work. It was weird on how the rights worked back then, like konami had the rights to make games for whatever series in the arcade but acclaim had all console rights to that same series.

Apparently, it was because konami only had the rights to make arcade games, and could only port it to the PC and commodore 64. Acclaim had simpsons rights to consoles like the nes, snes and genesis.
