Is it possible to use another port for this? I hate leaving 5900 open as it is often scanned from the outside.

TightVNC allows http://domain:port to get to a different port. Anyone been able to do same with Leopard's VNC implementation?

I would assume, though I haven't been able to test it yet, that you would just change the line in the Avahi config to advertise the port your actual server is running on, as opposed to 5900.
