because not every transport may need a port number. e.g., "RDS over pigeon carrier" may not need a port number. in a different design (e.g., KCM) the listen port is configurable with sysctl Some may need more than one, e.g., rds_rdma, evidently. What is the problem with using the unused 18635 for the RDS_CM_PORT?
