The reference version is almost certainly just that, a reference
version. It is there to illustrate how the protocol works, and part of
that is using the standard port number. I suspect the maintainers of
the source code would rather everyone used the full version.
However, although I haven't looked at the source code, I imagine the
port number is easy to change without any really specific C language
knowledge, provided you are prepared to recompile it.
