Nagios and Xymon can both handle that number of hosts. I don't know about Cacti though. Not sure about 10k network ports either. They usually require SNMP polling which in my experience is not necessarily lightweight. I have used Perl with Big Brother to monitor 600+ cisco devices, can't remember how many ports though. Think I was mainly doing environmental monitoring (cpu/mem/proc/hardware/etc) on them. When you get into that type of scale a really nice to have feature is network discovery and mapping. I don't think either Nagios or Xymon can do that though.
