Not necessarily. It is a level of abstraction, can include inverse
multiplexed bundles, time slots in multiplexed bundles, VLANs, lambdas,
etc. In a Cisco specific context, it is something represented by an
Interface Descriptor Block. See "Inside Cisco's IOS Software
Architecture." For a more general view, see
RFC 2863 "The Interfaces Group MIB."

Formally, the term "port" here would more correctly be called a
transport layer identifier in most protocol architectures.
