Any idea what that port is (just so that I can avoid it when
configuring other cards)?

  NW> See sys/dev/ic/if_ep_isa.c and elink.c for details.

I'm guessing they're present on NetBSD/i386 systems that
have the source installed.  I don't have a NetBSD system
built yet (although I ran it experimentally on a Toshiba
laptop for a while).
