You are right; ports are irrelevant in this context.

Sorry for the confusion.

The SCTP requirement is to map sets of S/D addresses to a single SA 
via the SPD, which we do.  The RFC also calls for mapping traffic 
from a set of destination addresses to a single SA, via the SAD. This 
is something that 2401bis accommodates, in the discussion of inbound 
traffic processing in Section 5.2, step 2, so long as we interpret 
the phrase  "If the packet appears to be IPsec protected and it is 
addressed to this device" as allowing multiple addresses for the 
IPsec device. We will add a note to clarify this.
