The 8700 port is only part of a bigger problem. If you were able to change the port to something else so that each users could have their own ports it still wouldn't work.
DDMS monitors any device or emulator connected to or running on the machine. As soon as a new device is detected, DDMS will connect to all of its VMs. Unfortunately, these VMs only accept one connection, so if you have 2 users, their own DDMS will fight to connect to the VMs. If is possible that user 1 launches an app on a device/emulator for debugging but it is the DDMS of the 2nd users that connect to this app preventing user1 from connecting his/her debugger. To allow multiple users on the same machine, we'd have to change DDMS to allow selective connection to devices (so that user 1 could ignore the devices from user 2). This is not on the roadmap at the moment.
