on the 6510, all port bits exist and work - they are just not connected to the
outside world. i'd assume the same for other variants of the cpu.

see here: https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/HEAD/tree/testprogs/CPU/
cpuport/

and yes, it would indeed be interesting to know test results from 7501/8501 :)
