The "ports" column re-appears because it is one of the columns generated
from the client data. So after you drop it, it will be re-created the
next time the client sends in an update.

If you want to remove the "ports" column because it is clear (white),
then use the "NOCOLUMNS:ports" setting in bb-hosts, or change
hobbitserver.cfg so hobbitd_client is launched with the --no-clear-ports
option.
