"Secure" implies SSL, which as you identify means using "well known ports". I'd think it would take a lot more work to "bastardise" a solution using encrypted traffic on non-standard ports (I don't think you want to encrypt ALL traffic, so 80 won't do the trick) than changing your proxy to include SSL ports
