What are you doing to vary the port?  I was thinking about a tube that could slide (or thread) in and out, so it could be played with.  There are any number of ways to do this with o-rings, etc., as long as the tube has enough support (ie, the fixed block must be thicker than 1 section of G-10).  It might also be nice to have various options for a light, fluffy "stuffing" for the port, in case of port noise.

In my "Mini" project, (that I will rather hypocritically use Micarta in strategic areas) I'll be using electrical conduit expansion couplings...http://www.carlonsales.com/productdrawings/E945G.pdf.  Hopefully, they will work well, but I usually end up sealing vented speakers. 

BTW, I love the feel (and the sound!) of G-10

Great...Where have you used G10?  How would you discribe its sound?  I've never used it in speakers, but I like its dielectric properties as I like to use naked cables.

BTW, if you have any interest in the upcoming NAMM show, I can get you a badge...Just say the word.
