I'd say you are getting lucky.

It seems to me that you have the finalizer in the wrong place. The Manager does not directly own any unmanaged resources. Since the Port class does directly own the unmanaged resources (from the way you describe it), it should be Disposable and have a finalizer that calls Dispose(false) as per the Dispose pattern. Then it does not matter what order things get finalized in by the GC. Port would look something like this:

public class Port : IDisposable
{

   ~Port()
   {
      Dispose(false);
   }

   public void IDisposable.Dispose()
   {
        Dispose(true);
        GC.SupressFinalize(this);
   }
   
   private bool alreadyDisposed;
   protected void Dispose(bool disposing)
   {
      if (!alreadyDisposed)
      {
         if (disposing)
         {
            //clean up managed
         }

         //always clean up unmanaged
         
         alreadyDisposed = true;
      }
   }

   public void Close()
   {
      Dispose();
   }

   //other class code here
}
