Did crawl through the code and kind of figured out how it is supposed to work.
Turns out rfbport was passed through as misc option and not used in the wrapper
at all.
Attached a debdiff Patch for tigervncserver to include rfbport.
Not a Perl programmer mind you...
Hopefully the attachment works, never tried this from shell before.
