The "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" libraries - which VLC uses to implement 
client RTSP - has a way to doing this; however, the module 
("livedotcom.cpp") that interfaces to these libraries does not currently 
use this mechanism.

If you wanted to do this, you would need to modify "livedotcom.cpp" to call
         sub->setClientPortNum(desiredPortNum);
just before the call to
         sub->initiate();
