Basically the goal is that contrary to some silly /proc stuff which is "en vouge" nowadays you have the ability to controll port access by using normal user permission control semantics of unix file access permissions, by giving /dev/port a proper group and so on. This is legacy crap of course, since the above goal can be reached by using a apache-suexec alike wrapper as well... even with more fine grained resolution of access controll.
