Yes, I think that will always be a safe assumption, ISA without port I/O
is just not a sensible configuration. A few of the later ISA devices use
PCI style memory mapped I/O, but I can't think of any driver that doesn't
also require port I/O, and you wouldn't find ISA slots in a system that
lacks support for port I/O.
