I just checked and if I'm not mistaken Port's mini-dak gained support
for "contrib", "non-free", and probably more importantly
"non-free-firmware" recently:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-ports-team/mini-dak/-/commit/42fa33805d657fee5e711ac29043687fb2b86d0d

I'm not familiar with how the allowlist works for enabling builds, but
it seems Ports can now accept uploads to those new sections.
