Are 9150 shifters and wireless compatible with 9100 Rear Derailleur?
The Shimano Dura-Ace 9100 series components are mechanical; the 9150 series (Di2) are electronic, so you can't mix a 9150 shifter with a 9100 derailleur.

Each shifter has 3 ports, so are you really in need of more ports?

Will Shimano Di2 synchro shift work with an XT (Mountain) rear derailleur with an Ultegra (Road) front derailleur on the same bike?
No, Shimano's software intentionally disallows you from setting your bike up with a mix of mountain and road derailers. Boycott-worthy, I say.
