Not sure what IE has to do with it.
IE browses on 80 form my desktop, no? And now putty will also be sending

IE connects _to_ port 80 on another machine. The local port number will be
semi-randomly assigned and different for every connection. There is no
conflict with multiple clients opening connections to the same port
somewhere else.
You run sshd on port 80 at home
(assuming inbound to port 80 is allowed by your ISP and you don't have
something running there already) and then configure putty accordingly.
Well, at home we all use 80 over NAT to surf the cloud. So if I tell my
firewall, "send incoming 80 to server blatz," won't that screw browsing
up?
It would only mess up a web server you might be running at home. The port
numbers we think of are for the listener. With TCP, the client port
changes.
