Is something like this possible?
What Felix said, especially about hiera. Moreover, if you use hiera's Puppet backend (whose purpose is to load data from Puppet variables), you might be able to make it work very similarly to the way you described. On the other hand, I think Felix was going more for constructing your port list via the structure of the external data, and that might be the easiest way.
