As it seems it is used for the "Distribution Pages" (click on the link
"Spread Freenet" in the Web-Interface). This spreads a freenet-zip with
your personal seednodes. So not all people start with the same
seednodes. This should make the net better connected I think.

If the port is firewalled it just means your Distribution pages can't be
accessed once they are created. It has nothing to do with the running of
your node.
