I just solved this for myself a week ago.  You need to edit NNTP_XMIT.C, around
line 611, you'll find the line

      local_host.inet_port = htons(NNTP_PORT);  /* dynamic port assignment */

Change it to

      local_host.inet_port = 0; /* dynamic port assignment. */

You'll also have to make this change in NNTP_XFER.C, if you're ever going to
use that.
