Tomcat can run on ports > 1024 as any user you like. You just have to make sure that user has permissions to read and write to Tomcat's work area and logging area, and any place you put your web applications.
If you want to run on ports < 1024, you have to run as root (at least on *nix variants), or put another service "in front" of Tomcat, such as Apache or another web server.
