As far as moving smb to a diffrent port.. I don't belive there is a way to
do this on nt directly.. there are port forwarders
like:http://malt-whisky.student.utwente.nl/nbfw/ however this is mostly
for alowing a Masq server to forward smb connections/requests and the
like.. you might want to consider using scp to transfer the files.. this
a: allows you to maintain your port policies
b: keeps passwords from going across the wire
c: is more secure then smb

pscp:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
is a good scp client..

hope this helps,
Curious
