Finding an available port for chat

I'm working on a little chat app. It's going to function very similar to a peer to peer app but across the internet. I have found the information i need on creating a stream once I know the address. but there will be persons like myself with draconian isp who block gobs of ports and make it hard to for chat apps to work. So I am curious, how can I, in a reasonably economic way, find an open port to talk on? Can I pass null to CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost for the port and have it find the port on it's own? Or do I need to hard code a port?
