No, they're fixed units so unless you use an axe it will always have 9
ports.  However the ports are labelled with
  "Port "  (ifIndex - mapIPInt);

It's an snmp get value. I suspect it will always be 256. So that means
ifIndex 0..256 will be an "IP" (virtual) interfaces and the physical
ones start after this.

Hmm, the virtual are propVirtual(53) and the others are
ethernetCsmacd(6)

I don't know, but if there were messages they would be in that format.
Looking at the list it seems it never logs a port going down :/

No, I think all their gear is fixed physical ports.  The IP interfaces
are numbered (eg ip interface 1) and I expect that the ifIndex matches
this number.
