NAS-Port is not required.  From RFC2865 section 4.1:

      An Access-Request SHOULD contain a NAS-Port or NAS-Port-Type
      attribute or both unless the type of access being requested does
      not involve a port or the NAS does not distinguish among its
      ports.

NAS-Port is intended to specify the physical (modem) port on a dialin
server.  It does not mean the UDP port from/to which RADIUS requests
are sent.  The bug, if any, is in whatever is demanding that the
attribute be present.
