in simple terms, you can't.

what is in ardour's lists are actually the JACK ports. JACK opens a
single ALSA PCM device. the ALSA driver for the midisport presents
each output pair as a single PCM device.

in a more complex world, you could define a virtual PCM device in ALSA
that includes all 4 devices, and have JACK open it. this works for
some kinds of h/w, and not for others. i have no idea if it will work
for the midisport.
