If you're OS has support for it you can set up packet filtering (aka
firewalling) rules that forward packets going to the privileged port
80 to some unprivileged port, for example 8000. Then just make Orion
listen on that unprivileged port.
Works like a charm for me.
In Linux's case I guess ipchains would be used. I can only provide
instructions for FreeBSD.
