What does "think thats not the case" mean? Its clearly stated in
2.3.3. Address Extension:

...
    The
    zeroing of ports (e.g. sin_port and sin6_port) MUST be done for all
    messages except for originating SADB_ACQUIRE messages, which SHOULD
    fill them in with ports from the relevant TCP or UDP session which
    generates the ACQUIRE message.
