> what does ip:port mean for hostbased authentication?

It means nothing. The IP of the host is irrelevant - the name is all that 
matters.

> why does HostKeyAlias not help?

Because it requires touching the config files of every possible user.

Because they may not have the same keys. Disk space is cheap. If you really 
want to save disk space, allow a single key to have multiple ip:port indices.
