Uh.. It seems DF only impact the memory location, ioport is not affected, See 
what SDM said.
After the byte, word, or doubleword is transfer from the I/O port to the memory 
location, the DI/EDI/RDI register
is incremented or decremented automatically according to the setting of the DF 
flag in the EFLAGS register. (If the
DF flag is 0, the (E)DI register is incremented; if the DF flag is 1, the (E)DI 
register is decremented.) The (E)DI
register is incremented or decremented by 1 for byte operations, by 2 for word 
operations, or by 4 for doubleword
operations.
