The easiest thing to do is read through the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

In there you can specify any number of ports for ssh to listen using
something similar to:

Port 22
Port 3080

Other good ones to set in sshd_config:

PermitRootLogin no

Protocol 2

AllowUsers YOURUSERNAME

Where YOURUSERNAME is the login id you want to allow to use ssh on that
system.

You may also want to set:

X11Forwarding yes
Compression yes

Check out the man page:

man sshd_config for more details.
