Clarity is one of the reasons that in the past I frequently used the term "MacPorts port" (to distinguish it from FreeBSD and other port systems), but this is too cumbersome and inelegant when used a lot so I mostly curtailed that. Using the term "MacPort" would make the term clear, but is that really a valid term in current usage? It seems we're only comfortable with the plural form, and I think that is why we always fall back to the more generic "port" to express a single MacPorts port.
