But I never ever used them as inputs myself before and studying the data sheets, I came to the conclusion that these these pins can only be used as inputs to generate an interrupt and cannot be read like one of the PAx or PBx pins. That would a bit of a bummer so I hope I'm wrong.

I used them only for transfer "handshake" but I vaguely remember that (at least some of them) could be used as output. Not an input though. At least not for static input like reading flags/dip switches. Would also like to be corrected if I am wrong;-)
