In addition to the other comments, also have a look at the diagrams.
For driving a LED, you don't have to care about maintaining the
correct logic levels, but you have to care about the allowed total
power dissipation.  Note that at Vcc=5V, the ATmega128 is one of the
few AVRs where you will exceed the allowed per-pin current when
connecting a LED directly against GND without a resistor.  For most
other AVRs, this is still within the specs (and even for the
ATmega128L at Vcc=3V).
