yes, there would be multiple interfaces in the port directory.
More like this:

br0
`-- bridge
    |-- forward_delay
    |-- id
    |-- max_age
    |-- port
    |   |-- eth0
    |   |   |-- cost
    |   |   |-- interface -> ../../../../eth0
    |   |   |-- priority
    |   |   `-- stp
    |   `-- eth1
    |   |   |-- cost
    |   |   |-- interface -> ../../../../eth1
    |   |   |-- priority
    |   |   `-- stp
    `-- priority
