  So you must have a DECnet point-to-point device driver that somehow can emulate multiple circuits with on instance of the driver.  How do you do that?

  That's the limitation on the VMS implementation - each instance of the device driver is one circuit.  If you have a new remote node you need a new circuit, a new instance of the driver, and hence a different port.  You can't have two separate instances of the driver listening on the same port.
