Yes, you can have multiple outgoing connections all to port 700 on some remote machine, but that's not the same.  And for UDP it's no problem for everybody to share the same port, but again that's not the same.

Hum. Have you ever wondered how HTTP works, Bob? Everyone from the 
outside connects to port 80 on the server, and everyone gets served, in 
parallel...
Same thing.
