It is not possible to retrieve the physical mac port as you desire via Quantum's API. The mapping of physical NIC to virtual NIC is plugin-specific and not exposed, though it can obviously be discovered manually.
What use-case are you thinking of that requires discovery of the physical mac that is transiting traffic for a given VM?
