I definitely think that allowing the flexibility to configure ports individually is required. It's easy to imagine a case with a separate front-end and back-end networks on the two HCA ports (this would be a pretty normal ethernet config), where only one port should be a target port.
It may not be how people do things now but it should at least be possible.
