Port 0 can also be caused by an access filter that doesn't specify the 
port - like:

deny udp 1.2.3.4 any log

IOS logs all udp hitting this rule as port 0.

If I want to see the ports in the log, I usually use:

deny udp 1.2.3.4 any gt 0 log

(Of course, then I definitely won't see any real port 0 usage.)
