The official list of port number assignments (google for "port number
assignments").

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

I would recommend using a port number ( <1024 ).
These ports can only be opened by root, and it less likely to
interfere with something else.

Pick one labeled "Unassigned".  You need a tcp port, but I'd pick a
number with both upd and tcp unassigned.
