I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but you should be able to edit 
/etc/sshd_config and just change the port number there, save and 
restart ssh. You'll have to configure your ssh client to login to that 
new port. As an aside you can easily fire up another ssh daemon 
listening on another port as suggested by Eddie. eg.

/path/to/sshd -p 55555

the p switch is for the port number.
