Very predictable. There are only 65534 ports, and reserving them to some specific applications is very unwise.
That's why SRV NS RRs were invented (and documented by FTSC since 2013).

For now, we have two working implementations for encrypted connection - SSH, supported by binkd since version 1.1a-22 released in 2013, and SSL/TLS, supported by binkd since the same version (requires a companion software to accept incoming connections, but may run on HTTPS port in conjunction with nginx) and Mystic (as JC wrote earlier).
The use of SSH and HTTPS ports has an advantage of multiplexing the incoming connections among different applications.
