The easiest thing to do is read through the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
In there you can specify any number of ports for ssh to listen using
something similar to:
Port 22
Port 3080
Other good ones to set in sshd_config:
PermitRootLogin no
Protocol 2
AllowUsers YOURUSERNAME
Where YOURUSERNAME is the login id you want to allow to use ssh on that
system.
You may also want to set:
X11Forwarding yes
Compression yes
Check out the man page:
man sshd_config for more details.
