You are right, it should go to questions.
I'll give you some quick answers, I'm not being rude, just tired, John.

If they relate then keep them together and make sure the subject line on the
topic is clear. If no one responds in a couple days then re phrase or break
it up into individual queries.

Yes you can do just a single port. there are some good articles on the www

the port you want to install, it may depend on other ports and you will want
to update those too.

None that I have ever done has required a makeworld..
