Ya, they will always show up because the ports are there. But if nothing
is plugged in there should be no interrupts generated. If you look at cat
/proc/interrupts, you will see which USB ports are are hooked to which
IRQs. Mine shows:
16: 353468 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb2,
uhci_hcd:usb5, nouveau
 17: 292646 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0
 18: 1537 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ata_piix, uhci_hcd:usb4
 19: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb3
 20: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi snd_ens1370
 21: 255695 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi snd_ice1712
 23: 334006 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1

In my case I was able to move my sound card out of the pci slot that it
was sharing with USB1. You can tell which USB port is which by plugging in
a USB memstick and looking at the last few lines of dmesg to see which USB
port it is (great for finding the best port to plug a sound IF into BTW).
You notice also that I tried to set the sound card I use for recording to
a higher irq than the ens that I use as a midi card. Just switching those
two around made a difference. I happen to have 5 pci slots to play with as
this is an older machine.
