You can make tiers. It will depend on the grade and length of the walkway on how to compute. An example would be make a flat 2-3' section, then a step up and another flat section, then repeat. You can frame the sections out with landscape timbers or 2x4s and pour concrete pads.
How about terracing stairs?

It sounds like you need to dig out some levels to place cinder blocks or flat logs for some steps. You could make it come from around the side and use the side of it sectioned off to contain some flower beds too. Hope this helps, Robin.
Quikrete makes great forms to create concrete walkways. We did it for a patio, but it would work great for leading up to the porch! https://www.charlestoncrafted.com/make-quikrete-walkmaker-patio/
If you want to keep the slope then consider filling in the walk way with a colored pebble stone. This will help to keep your home clean and will provide for easy maintenance and still look attractive..
