It won't break your motor if that's what your worried about, and they'll still work (though perhaps not right on cue) if your air pipe is still connected to your cat, since the ports work on the adjusted sum of their two pressures. If nothing is still connected, wiring them open will just trade off low end for high end. All they do is adjust the available paths for air entering the motor.

what year is your car? not having the aux ports doesnt really hurt the engine. as fumihiko explained - you'll lose low-end power and you'll hurt gas mileage (hope that doesnt scare you ), if it's a S4 you dont have to worry about the airpump controlling the aux ports. but all in all it should be fine as a dd. mine hasnt been a bother to me.

on my old NA i had wired open 5th and 6th ports.... it sucked **** for driving! and it was horrible on gas because you would have to give er if you wanted to go anywhere lol .. especially on hills

6 ports wired open is annoying for daily driving but I noticed it more because I was street ported, which already hurts low end.
On the other hand, I tried the 12v pump mod for the ports and it just wasn't reliable over the long haul. **** always went wrong with it. Carbon would build up in the auxilary ports sometimes, my relay would break, I just got sick of it and wired them open again.

You need to retain your air pump, otherwise, your 5th/6th ports don't open.....read the post above you next time before posting. Or do some research into this, these topics have been covered 10000 times.
Man, I wish I was a mod so I could close redundant threads.
