6667. With the ISS patches you can set 12 different ports or so.

Translating IP addresses for DCC requests of course, what do you think?

No. You'll have to patch your identd to recognize that the port is
masqueraded, forward the query to the local client, and forward the answer
to the server. There probably needs to be a translation mechanism so that
"root" on some random masqueraded-out client host isn't the root user on
the server.
In fact, if somebody would contribute this to identd, some people (incuding
myself) would be extremely grateful.
