It depends on your OS.

On Linux the easiest way is to get iptables to port forward 162 to  
11162 (or
whatever) and have the stack listen there.

Solaris used to have a feature where you could manage the
range of privileged ports with ndd - but I don't think it is supported
in the most recent version.
