Mom's been using Fougera brand (Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5%) cream from Walgreens pharmacy (prescription). But after using the port weekly for many months now, not a big deal if she forgets it. Putting ice in an exam glove and applying that while they set things up can help too. Some places use Gebauer's pain ease spray. Helped my Dad when enduring many (forehand) daily sticks in the hospital.
