You can control the client, host and tv port using convars on the command line. 

+clientport <portnum>
+hostport <portnum>
+tv_port <portnum>

(or alternately placing these into a config file that is refernced via +exec on 
the command line)

Steam also uses a port that will auto-increment, but this is controlled from 
the command line option: -steamport

e.g

srcds_run -game cstrike +clientport 27005 +hostport 27015 +tv_port 27020 
-steamport 26001

or

srcds_run -game cstrike +exec server01.cfg -steamport 26001

server01.cfg:
        clientport 27005
        hostport 27015
        tv_port 27020


We do this a lot with left4dead servers in forked mode. The ports numbers are 
too close to one another to run a lot of instances before they overlap, which 
causes problems.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Bind Client port- Linux

I'm sure he means this:
Network: IP ???.???.???.???, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 28001 SV / 27006 CL
the "27006 CL" part.
I'm interested in that too, since I can see the ports counting up
every time I start a new server on the machine, but I'd rather want
them to be in the 28xxx range as well.
