I was struggling with the same problem, but found out recently, that there's a 
way around that. Unfortunately, I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't be 
precise, but I can point you in a direction and be more precise later, if you 
can't figure it out from that. 

In qsynth, open the preferences and choose the MIDI tab. On one of the drop 
down menus (there are two, don't remember which one) you can choose a setting 
which causes the midi port being represented by a name rather than a number. 
That name will stay the same and thus should be remembered in frescobaldi ...

Please post the solution if you figured it out ... Otherwise I'll do it asap ...

Best, Rob
