Yep. Check out the sshd_config and ssh_config files.

Funny. They'll allow telnet, but not ssh. Go understand the corporate
mentality.
But I digress.
No, this shouldn't be a security issue in the commonly-understood sense
of that phrase. Using nonstandard ports might be a maintenance issue if
you start doing this on a wider scale than just one machine that you're
responsible for, but there's nothing special about one port over another
beyond the privileged/non-privileged borderline at 1024.
That said, in my experience when people have to use a non-standard port
for a service, they generally use something in the non-privileged range
(somewhere over port number 1024). Avoids stepping on the toes of other
services just in case it ever matters.
