A very easy way to deal with this is to run Apache with mod-rewrite to
do the redirection.

Basically, you would set it up to accept all connections on port 80 and
then redirect the entire request to port 8383. This would allow ALL
domains to be rewritten at once, so any of your hundred domains would
automatically support http://www.domain.com/ as an entry point into
webmail.

No. DNS does not govern the port, which is appended by the browser.

You  could  use  a router with port redirection capability to serve up
mail.example.com  on port 80 externally, while keeping IWEBMSG on 8383
on  the  IMail  box  itself.  Alternately,  if this is a cosmetic-only
change  (thst  is,  you're not trying to traverse a client firewall by
using  a well-known port instead of 8383), you could set up an IIS web
site on mail.example.com that redirects to the other host/port.
