As Martin mentioned, you could run multiple gmonds with different
ports on the same host.

Alternatively, you can also specify multiple udp_recv_channels using
different ports.  I haven't tried this in practice, but should do what
you want.

This only works if each gmond sends its metric to every other gmond,
in essence re-creating the behaviour of multicast.
