Christian,
I was dismayed too when I first discovered this limitation. The OSA-C
was originally intended to eliminate the local 3174 requirement. It was
not really designed to replace the 3172-003, which is what many are
using it for today.
And, you also need to look back at the OSA-C's roots which was the 3274
emulation in the P370, P390 and the MP3000.

Thanks for the input folks.
Brian: I have it working just fine, the setup was easy as you said - the
reason I started this thread was because I couldn't understand why the
limitations on the TCP port number and the philosophy behind the routing.
It seems pretty weird to me that IBM implemented ICC this way, but hey -
I'm just a stranger on the internet :-)

You can set up some of the ports to be local VTAM terminals, then you can
use VISTA (or any 3270 emulator) to connect into the ICC port 3270, and use
the LUNAME of the 3270 you defined as a local 3270 terminal. Since you can
have over 100 terminals per port, making them all os consoles is a waste,
so having a bunch of them as local 3270's that you can give to your carious
LPARs (and use EE to connect to the LPARs they are not connected to), is a
great way to use them.
I like to make the first 16 to 32 devices OS consoles and the rest of them
local 3270s.
So you are using TCP to get to them inside the ICC, but they are
technically local 3270 terminals. I think you can make some of them
printers if you want, but that seems like a waste.
If you need more detailed directions, there are samples in the OSA express
3 manual (and the newer ones). Or I can send you some screen shots of how
to set them up. Various sites I support are also z/114's so it's not a
problem. The entire time to set them up will probably take you on the
order of 15 seconds for each terminal. (if that)
