Yes, but exit nodes already no where your traffic is going (and on which port), middle and entrance nodes do not. If they did, it would defeat the purpose of tor I believe. Anonymity of requests is not limited to decoupling the destination IP from the user, but also to decoupling the type of traffic (i.e port) to the user, don't you think? -Martin
