Technically, no -- HTTPS will work on any port you want. There may, however,
be some user confusion.
For example, if a user does not specify HTTPS (i.e. http://domain.name/path),
they will get a mysterious connection failure. There will be no intelligent
reminder to use HTTPS. If they remember the HTTPS, they will have to override
the default port of 443 (i.e. https://domain.name:80/path).
Again, these are not technical problems, but usability issues. If your user
base is technical enough aware of these issues, then it isn't a problem.
