Why?

The master agent will be listening on a standard port
(typically the named socket /var/agentx/master or TCP port 705)
for connections from the subagents.   That's what the configuration
settings are concerned with.

The subagents will use a random source port, but connect
to the same server port - just as for any other client-server setup.

Why would you want to set up distinct listening ports for each
individual subagent?   That's just introducing unnecessary complexity.
