In particular, you can do this from inside your TBB by going to the
Vidalia 'advanced' settings window and clicking "Configure ControlPort
automatically", and then restarting TBB. The checkbox secretly means
"and socksport too".

This checkbox is checked already on OSX and Linux, as Andrew says. See
