Yea, I knew my original NO_PGPORT wasn't going to be the last, but now
we are stuck.

Add to this something Magnus mentioned that I did not see until just
now.  The backend links in timezone/SUBSYS.o, which doesn't use pgport,
so you have pgport versions and native versions of some functions in the
same backend binary.  I am not sure that will always work.  Add to that,
are those object files fully compatible with the backend?
