Port A is probably the best one for this job, the only special function
on there is the ADC.

Do you really need JTAG? During the entire sd2iec development I needed
it just once and in hindsight it would've been possible to find the
problem[1] without it.

Well, at least the AVR has a sane pinout[2] and there are no unused bits
in the middle of a GPIO port[3]...

-ik

[1] One-byte buffer overflow in a variable on the stack resulting
    in a null pointer access which overwrites the CPU registers.
[2] pins of GPIO port 0, bits 0 to 11 on the LPC1768 (TQFP100):
    46, 47, 98, 99, 81, 80, 79, 78, 77, 76, 48, 49
[3] "Pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, and 13 of [Port 1] are not available"
