The portmapper doesn't control the ports that are used, it's just a
directory service. The server selects a port (usually by letting the OS
grab an unused port) and tells the portmapper about it, so that clients
can ask the portmapper what port is being used.
Unless sadmind provides an option to force it to listen on a specific
port, there's nothing you can do about it.
