The default port fo the Sage server is port 8000 and not port 8080. Is
there any good reason for this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

lists port 8080 as an anternate HTTP server, bt notes of 8000 that
"8000 is sometimes erroneously used instead of port 8080"

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

lists for port 8000:

irdmi           8000/tcp    iRDMI
irdmi           8000/udp    iRDMI
#                           Gil Shafriri <shafriri&ilccm1.iil.intel.com>


(RDM = Remote desktop method)

but of port 8080 lists:

http-alt        8080/udp    HTTP Alternate (see port 80)
#                           Stephen Casner <casner&precpt.com>


To me, it seems Sage is an HTTP server., so should be on port 8080 and
not 8000 by default.

With company firewalls often restricting ports, I think its far more
likely port 8080 will be permitted than port 8000.
