I'm pretty sure that's currently not possible. You could try configuring it (through Configuration Admin) with port N, then register some servlet and see if you can actually reach that servlet (repeating those steps until you can) but that's not the most elegant solution. The current configuration you can "see" by looking at the actual service properties, which are propagated from the configuration. I think it would be nice to have a setting "port=random" or "port="pick-from-range(8000,9000)" or something similar, so why not supply a patch!
