I guess that if the port is damaged and you do not have rail connections southwards, you will be unable to repair rail from Riga.

Yes, you cannot repair rail if it is too far from a railhead. Ports are sort of weird, but I believe that for rail repair they count as a rail head but don't "push" the railhead forward. Though, I've never tried using an on-map unit to do it - that's just what I've gathered from off-map units doing it.

And gets even weirder. Ports auto rail repair even when not connected. And auto repair even works outwards from a repaired port not otherwise connected to the grid. Not sure why the difference between auto and manual repair.

Remember ports cannot supply until they are sufficiently repaired. And although Riga port can get sufficiently repaired quicker than others, it is still far more turns than it would take to rail repair up to Riga. Bottom line is it would not help even if you could repair rail outwards from a working port alone.
