Im purchasing a DC this week (the shop fox 2HP) and had planned on

little dust port (1-3/4? maybe 2").

Should I even bother?

It doesnt sound like it going to work very well. Although its only
about 5 feet from the DC, and the DC will only be hooked up to the
table saw and the RAS for a while.

All suggestions are welcome!

While you need something to suck on that, you really should construct
a proper hood. Even a piece of plywood stuck up behind the saw with
the DC hose stuck through a hole in it will cut down on the sawdust by
a remarkable amount. The hose to the blade shroud though get dust
that otherwise would likely not get collected.
