I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'timber' is the first definition.
(I know that deal is a type of board)

'port?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deal that I've seen before include "Distribute (cards); pine or fir timber" , "Business transaction of timber." , "Timber - trade" , "Soft wood or slang bargain" , "Sawn wood" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
