Yes there are indeed 3 variables that you can set which control the ports your srcds instance uses.
1. +hostport (default 27015) opens both a TCP and a UDP port 2. +clientport (default 27005) opens a UDP port 3. -steamport (I guess the default is 26900) opens a UDP port on the number +1 for some reason there's also the -port command line option which controls (and I believe overrules, but I've never tested that) the same port as +hostport does.
