Last time I tried this, I ended up creating a script "alt_ssh" in
$HOME/bin that consisted of something like:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/ssh -p 123 $*

(where "123" was the alternate port)

And then I set CVS_RSH to $HOME/bin/alt_ssh.  I've not tested this
recently to see if I remembered it correctly, nor have I spent any
time looking for a less crufty solution.
