Fixing the *client* port is unnecessary and bad: prevents testing in parallel, prevents install without root, creates errors for users used to other, friendlier client-server protocols satisfied with random client ports.  Even in 1996 DNS, telnet, http and probably even passive ftp were present as examples.
