The port number is written in these places
./cvsntcpl/advancedpage.cpp
./cvsntcpl/cvsntcpl.rc
./doc/PServer.example
./lockservice/cvslockd.cpp
./lockservice/lockservice.cpp
./src/lock.c
./src/main.c
./src/mkmodules.c
./testcvs/test_data/atomic_config

It would probably be better not to have numbers written out like that, 
using a #define is safer and clearer.

But, I did not know about /etc/cvsnt/Pserver (is it really spelled like 
that?). Perhaps if it was in the manpage I would have tried that...
