Port to Application Mapping (PAM) is a feature of the Cisco IOS Firewall
feature set. PAM allows you to customize TCP or UDP port numbers for network
services or applications. PAM uses this information to support network
environments that run services using ports that are different from the
registered or well-known ports associated with an application.

Using the port information, PAM establishes a table of default
port-to-application mapping information at the firewall. The information in
the PAM table enables Context-based Access Control (CBAC) supported services
to run on nonstandard ports. Previously, CBAC was limited to inspecting
traffic using only the well-known or registered ports associated with an
application. Now, PAM allows network administrators to customize network
access control for specific applications and services.

If you aren't using CBAC, I don't know if you can do this, though.

More on PAM here:

Regarding the comment below that CBAC uses the keyword "http" instead of the
"www" used in extended access lists, I agree that's strange. It almost seems
like CBAC came from a Cisco acquisition perhaps. It's enough different from
ordinary IOS to make one wonder.
