There is no portable way (that is, available in the servlet API) for you to find
out the server host and port in the init() method. As you are aware, they are
available in each request that comes in.
Perhaps you could arrange your code to recognize the first request being
processed (perhaps by a boolean instance variable in the servlet class), and
initialize whatever it is that depends on this at that time, rather than in the
init() method.
