But Port hasn't been about selecting a port to listen to for a long time. That is what Listen was for. The only reason to have Port (in any situation where you had multiple ports to listen to), was to have a way to tell the server what port to report. This removes the problem of having users put a Port directive in their config, and two listen directives, and then wonder why the server was only listening on two ports. I have received three bug reports about this, this month alone.
