You can do so by adding a new registry key listing your new port, by following these steps:

Run REGEDIT
Export the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
Edit the REG file and change the name of the key to something like: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp-New
In the REG file find PortNumber and change it to whatever port you want.
Import the REG file back to the registry.

You can also just create a new listener through the Host Session Manager MMC – PnP Apr 10 '15 at 07:53
@PnP - Do you know if the Host Session Manager MMC available for a Windows 7 machine? – Eric B. Sep 27 '15 at 04:24
