If the question is "how do I avoid the ?ver=3.0.1 in the rewritten
output", http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule#rewrite suggests adding
"?" as the last character of the rewrite rule. Possibly the shorter rule

  rewrite ^ /wp-content/cache/wp-special-textboxes.css? permanent;

would do, but you can experiment with the other changes to see if they
suit your setup. (nginx fills in a scheme://host in this case.)

If the question is "why is
http://suckup.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-special-textboxes/css/wp-special-textboxes.css.php?ver=3.0.1
apparently not processed by this rule", the output you do see should give
a hint, and http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location should explain
why it happens. Possibly you want to add "^$" after the "location" word.

If you really want to rewrite in nginx, look into modules with names like
"substitution"

I think you're better off finding what is writing the thing you don't
want, and getting it to stop. So, check the WordPress-Theme and see
what it is doing. Either disable the scheme://host:port bit altogether
(since the browser knows to use the same scheme://host for subsequent
requests), or see where it gets its information from and change it. At
a guess, the fastcgi_params SERVER_PORT and SERVER_NAME, or HTTP_HOST
that gets sent to the php interpreter, are probably involved.

Good luck with it,
