Currently, we map both the "port" and "protocol" netrc tokens to the
credential helper protocol's "protocol".  So this will have undefined
results.  To do what you specify could be pretty simple: we could do a
preliminary scan of the tokens, looking for "host X port Y" where Y is
an integer, and rewriting the host to be "X:Y".  That would be clean and
simple, unless the user breaks it with "host x:23 port 22".  Let me know
if you agree and I'll do.

OK; added.
