Yes, a normal TracQuery only supports "contains" which often matches too
many ports. There is an upstream issue requesting a "contains the word"
match operator:

http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/7558

However, Trac also supports reports which allow to run SQL statements
against the database. Years ago I created a report in Trac that allows
to match with regex against the port field. This might be helpful for
these ports (\W matches any non-word character):

http://trac.macports.org/report/16?max=100&PORT=\WR\W

This only matches active tickets, that means not closed. If there is a
need for similar report matching all tickets I can add another one.
