Ian, We use Apache + CF 8 Multi-Instance in our local development, with each developer maintaining a mirrored environment. What we've found is that by setting a process, and building out each instance in the same order, we all retain the same ports.
Changing port numbers shouldn't an issue for you, as long as you're using the ports already setup by your servers. By this I mean it won't hurt for you to change your 'sites' instance to 51002, if that is your port for your 'control' instance, as long as you're changing the 'control' instance to the 51001 previously held by the 'sites' instance.
