I had to revisit this issue in a different context (libdbi-drivers Bug
#3163428). Now pgsql and mysql are supposed to deal with ports the
same way. If a string option is used to set the port, this port is
used. If no string option is set, but a numeric option is set, use
that. If neither is set, the port will be set to zero. This
essentially means that applications using libdbi are expected to
provide an appropriate port. There is nothing going to happen
automagically. If this behaviour is not desired, feel free to request
a change. As mentioned previously, we could provide the well-known
defaults of pgsql and mysql instead of zero.
