This doesn't quite work. When I try to change the track 17 to port 2 channel 1 in step 6, it also changes the track 16 to port 2 channel 1. So those two tracks aren't unique.

I think you're right :-(
Well its still not too terribly bad of a way to build up tracks, better then the copy and paste enviornment hell I was doing before to build up a large template.
Updating my original post, though I'm less exctied about it now, I was hoping it would be a way to avoid the scary enviornment.

I found a way to make this work.
Using the old instructions, after step 6 (where you rename channel 17 to be port 2, channel 1), do this:
6a. Select and delete either one of the tracks that are port 2 channel 1.
6b. Select the second to last channel again (e.g., port 1, channel 15) and then select Track>other>new track with next midi channel as before.
These two steps break the link between what was port 1 channel 16 and what wants to be port 2 chanel 1.

Here are the steps:
- In the software instruments dialog, create an AU3 multitimbral track with 1 part
- Track>Other>New track with next MIDI channel (ctrl-return)
- Repeat step 2 until you have as many channels as you want for that port up to 16 channels (stop when you get to 127 channels)
- Select the last track, Change to port n+1, channel 1 in the track inspector
- Select there second to last track and do step 2 (this back fills the previous port)
- Select the last track and repeat steps 2 through 6 (stop at 127 channels)
