BTW, here's a ruby script that edits :port to turn it into -p port except when 
it appears as the parameter of an option.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
i=0
while i<ARGV.length
   case ARGV[i]
   when /^-[bcDEeFIiLlmOopQRSWw]$/; i+=1
   when /^-/
   else
     a=ARGV[i].split(/:/)
     ARGV[i,1]=[a[0],"-p",a[1]] if a[1]
   end
   i+=1
end
system "ssh", *ARGV
