What do you mean by "different"? You always need at least one soundfont.

No. These are MIDI "ports" that can point to a softsynth or a hardware 
synth or other MIDI equipment.

Yes. But each MIDI port can have it's own channels

Banks are not programs. There are 128 programs in the General Midi 
standard. Each program sometime has variations that can be selected with a 
"bank" select.

You can select both banks and programs you want on the main screen in 
Rosegarden in the "Instrumentparameters" section in the "Special 
parameters" on the left side of the screen. (You might have this not 
openened?)
