Yes, according to RFC 2109 ("HTTP State Management Mechanism"):
4.3.4 Sending Cookies to the Origin Server
When it sends a request to an origin server, the user agent sends a
Cookie request header to the origin server if it has cookies that are
applicable to the request, based on
* the request-host;
* the request-URI;
* the cookie's age.
request-URI is the URL portion following the <host>:<port>.
This means that <port> must be ignored when deciding which cookies
to send.
