They're  spending  their  time  blocking alternate HTTP ports, but for
purely  arbitrary reasons, rather than something touching on security?
Well, whatever....

IIS,  no.  But  you  can  run a reverse proxy (Apache mod_proxy, Squid
reverse  proxy, FastStream). Or you could add an additional IP, ensure
you  don't bind it in IIS, and run a cheapo port redirector on that IP
from 80->8383.
