Port versus Interface is also covered here http://openvswitch.org/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5.pdf under the section for Port table it says a port is:
"A port within a Bridge. Most commonly, a port has exactly one 'interface', pointed to by its interfaces column. Such a port logically corresponds to a port on a physical Ethernet switch. A port with more than one interface is a ‘bonded port’ (see Bonding Configuration)" A port can have multiple interfaces for a bond.
