You might check to see that it's actually listening on that port -- pfiles
23403 will tell you what port it's actually listening on.  I believe that
port numbers are restricted (by the OS, not pkg(5)) to a short integer --
so 65535 is the highest actual port.  10000000 (from your ps listing; what
you said above has another two zeroes on it) wraps around to 38528.  I
don't see any reason why the number wouldn't work in all parts of pkg(5),
but be careful that it isn't a unique port number -- just unique mod 2^16.
