IIUC, we still require Port for any non-standard listeners to create the correct server name (e.g. http://ServerName:Port/{redirect}) references.
If this is not true, then I agree, remove it. But do we now pick up the Port from the ServerName directive in 1.3? If they can follow the Apache 2 conventions, it makes migration easier, so if my fears are unfounded, +1.
