For the record, this works like a dream!  I can execute the above in a shell 
(filling in appropriate values for destinationPort, sourceAddr, and 
sourcePort), right before calling ServerSocket.Listen, and now my app appears 
to all the world to be listening on the standard port.  This is a very clean 
solution, which doesn't risk giving my app root privs, nor require mucking 
about with setuid bits, declares, or plugins.

Thanks, Sam!

Best,
