I must say, I like harbour-raiding a lot, so I do it often, and I have never seeen ships actually going in or out of the docks. That counts for escorts too. So either ports were empty, or with docked merchants, or with docked merchants and active patrols, or with docked merchants, docked patrols (that wont move but will shoot ya!), and active patrols.
However, I did see in a few ocasions some cargo ships nearing the port, or coming close to it. But there is no way to tell them apart from genericaly-generated single-spawned ships.
