I have committed AutoPorts code recently, which allows one to
auto-generate arbitrary number of ports for a new object of a given
type. Existing means can be used to quickly implement auto-generation
of ports and attributes depending on the particular hardware, but under
an important condition. There should be tech spec available about each
piece of hardware.

Once again, we are looking for vendor line maintainers.
