No.
The names of sequencer ports are controlled only by the sequencer

client (application/driver) itself.

You could use the "Midi Through" ports of the snd-seq-dummy driver and

connect the hardware ports from/to those.  Use the "ports" parameter

to get more than one port.  (These names are neither short nor helpful,

but at least unique.)
It would be possible to write your own tool that behaves like the

snd-seq-dummy driver but allows customizing the port names.
