There's nothing in the portgroup to handle this case. You can change
anything you want in a subport though. Whether this is a good idea in
any particular case depends on how it affects clarity and whether that's
worth the reduction in code duplication.

If there are features that could be added to the portgroup that would
make this kind of thing easier without making the common case more
complicated, we could consider those.
