Comment (by nickm):

 Check out this part of the manpage:

 {{{
 By default, an option on the command line overrides an option found in the
 configuration file, and an option in a configuration file overrides one in
 the defaults file.

 This rule is simple for options that take a single value, but it can
 become
 complicated for options that are allowed to occur more than once: if you
 specify four SOCKSPorts in your configuration file, and one more SOCKSPort
 on
 the command line, the option on the command line will replace __all__ of
 the
 SOCKSPorts in the configuration file.  If this isn't what you want, prefix
 the option name with a plus sign, and it will be appended to the previous
 set
 of options instead.
 }}}

 So to make sure that the SocksPort in the torrc does what you want, write
 it as `+SocksPort` .
