I believe the answer is:

bremen

'port' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'chaps on bit of benzedrine about' is the wordplay.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap means a man).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bit of' indicates taking the first letters.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
The initial letter of 'benzedrine' is 'b'.
'b'+'re'='bre'
'men' after 'bre' is 'BREMEN'.

'to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
