The only issue -- I wouldn't call it a problem -- is that you have 
retool for using a different port.

Firewall settings will have to change, for sure.

The CLI invocations change:

   ssh -p 9999 my.host
   scp -P 9999 foo.txt my.host:/var/tmp
   rsync -e 'ssh -p 9999' /some/dir/ my.host:/that/dir/

For a lot of command-line work, you can hide the port definition in 
your ~/.ssh/config file:

# ${HOME}/.ssh/config
Host my.host
   Port 9999
# end of file
