Has a similar command worked for you in the past? While it is impossible
to be sure without knowing more about your firewall, I'm fairly certain
that is not what you want. You'll probably have more luck with something
like:
-A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport <new port> -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -j DROP
