Here is an example:
  32:Akkulad.c     ****   // Port C = Analog-Ins
  33:Akkulad.c     ****   DDRC  = 0;
  95                            .stabn 68,0,33,.LM4-Init_Ports
  96                    .LM4:
  97 0006 14BA                  out 52-0x20,__zero_reg__

As you can see in the example, the code is correct. But it seems you 
have an older version. In the newest version, and as I remember 
since 3.2, the ports are defined as:
/* Data Register, Port D */
#define PORTD   _SFR_IO8(0x12)

You see the _SFR_IO8()? The using of this causes the compiler to use 
it as an access to the IO area.
