Using a URL for HTTP requests to non-standard port

I’d like to use WordPress but need to host the weblog at URL that specifies a non-standard port.

I’ve seen some discussions on this forum that suggest it is not natural to try and host a weblog on a webserver that allows access via multiple ports. In my case, I only want to use a different port (possibly 60 instead of 80).

From the little bit of research I’ve done this should work but I’d be very grateful to anyone who can offer good advice.
