It would be if you made it one.

Actually, it is.  You can specify a port in an alias.

We do it in the following example to provide backward compatibility with 
old shoutcast-style setups which some might still have bookmarked:

         <!-- Aliases: treat requests for 'source' path as being for 'dest' 
path
              May be made specific to a port or bound address using the 
"port"
              and "bind-address" attributes.
           -->
         <alias source="/" port="6246" dest="/mainstream"/>
         <alias source="/" port="7464" dest="/cafe"/>
         <alias source="/" port="7664" dest="/cafe-low"/>
         <alias source="/" port="37262" dest="/trove"/>
         <alias source="/" port="8000" dest="/acbri"/>
