In theory you set all other ports to 10Mb and the port you need faster to 100Mb.
----------------
The switch should have an aggregate backplane speed to support the total number of ports at a significant bandwidth. This is really the most critical element of switch performance. Total backplane bandwidth and how the switching fabric works.
Actually, a managed switch will permit you to link or aggregate ports so that you can increase total bandwidth to a device. However, that device will have to permit teaming or aggregation also. In the Cisco world, this is called Port Aggregation Protocol PAgP. More information.
