yes.

I don't think so.  In the entire 3GPP protocol world, the UDP port numbers
for GTP-U and GTP-C are fixed.  The various signaling protocols allow you to
communicate the IPv4/v6 address and TEID of tunnel endpoints, but never allow
you to communicate the port number - which hence must always be the well-known 
port
(2123 for GTP-C + 2152 for GTP-U).

Of course somebody could do whatever they want in some kind of internal 
interface
not required to interoperate with any other equipment/implementation/operator, 
but
I'd consider it not falling in your question of "reasonable use".

Regards,
        Harald
