Hi Thiago,
I could reproduce, but then I don't have a tap0 just as the error says.
And the command says add tap0 to br0.

This works (to give me a tap device before adding things)
sudo ip tuntap add dev tap5 mode tap
sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap5 tag=101
sudo ovs-vsctl show
24fc3972-b8c2-4c53-8299-e5ea77add3cf
    Bridge "br0"
        Port "tap5"
            tag: 101
            Interface "tap5"
[...]
