Without knowing much about the specific application, I'm assuming you're concerned about client port conflicts.
What I would do is have the client randomize a port within say 6000-6999 for example. Then send via UDP to the server it's identification and port information. Then the server will know what port to talk to the client on. Each client could then use a different port.
I hope that's what you're getting at. Hope it helps.
