Is it unreasonable to think of the method as a semantic "port" to which messages (arguments) are passed?

And languages that allow programmers to bypass OO with jmp instructions seem multiparadigm rather than not-OO...

Not unreasonable at all! In fact the term used in objective C and Ruby is “selector”. Beneath the synchronous veneer anyway.
