The man pages might not be up to date. If you're running a recent version
of Xvnc you can use the -rfbport switch. E.g.:
vncserver -rfbport 3000
>From the client side you use:
vncviewer remotename:3000
It does some assumptions based upon the number you pass to rfbport. IIRC,
specifying a port less than 100 will cause it to offset from 5800 or 5900.
So passing 10 will make the service listen on 5810 or 5910.
BTW, because it's not an encrypted protocol it might be better to tunnel
the connection through an SSH session. I've seen listeners that sniff the
rfb protocol without connecting to the server and allow a passive listener
to view remote desktops.
