I think that port 443 is requested to not make the bridges totally
useless: this features has been introduced for less fortunate tor users
to get by heavily restricted networks, port 80 and 443 are the most
commons available ports for outgoing connections.
Said so, I think you should be ok with announcing port 443 and binding
to the 9001, using iptables to redirect incoming connections.

Obviously I'm not a tor developer and I haven't (yet) switched over
alpha so, feel free to prove me wrong :)
