That seems like an unfriendly thing to do. You'd have to check to see what port is "standard" for this particular installation, and pick something else. You may choose an unused port, but perhaps it needs to be used in a few minutes by some other process, but then will be occupied. The administrator may also not be happy to have an open port facing the world, or even just other possibly untrusted users on the same machine, assuming you bind to localhost.
