the port is a hollow tube but the air mass in the tube is a Helmholtz resonator. A Helmholtz resonator is nothing more than an enclosed volume of air connected to the outside world by a narrow tube, called the port. but for volume calculations it is better approximated as a solid rod and not a hollow tube.

This book explains it in better and greater detail.
