at least in regular Unix and its variants, port numbers less than 1024 are reserved for system services and can only be bound by the superuser or su'd processes. this is to prevent regular users masquerading and harvesting passwords etc. the relevance to phones can be debated, but it seems that for the moment at least, system ports are off limits for regular Android applications.
