Ports are refered to with port numbers in GSMP. This is described in section 3 in the GSMPv3 spec. And it's true, there are no further notion about the syntax about these described in GSMP, this is implementation specific. A possible implementation in the switch is of course to use the interface index used in SNMP as the port numbers. This way you could use e.g. IF-MIB (rfc2863) and EtherLike-MIB (rfc2665) for the management.
