here is the direct link to the PR FAQ kendogg mentioned. http://www.aespeakers.com/PRFAQ.php

PR's take the place of ports. They function the same way and the physics model for either is a mass on a string. PR's have the benefit of no vent noise, no compression until they run out of excursion, and also no out of band noise that can come out of a port.
