A quick glance at the Wiki documentation, and we find:

IP or host address where to listen in for connections. It's not currently 
possible to specify multiple addresses. "*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces. 
"[::]" listens in all IPv6 interfaces, but may also listen in all IPv4 
interfaces depending on the operating system. If you want to specify ports for 
each service, you will need to configure these settings inside the protocol 
imap/pop3 { ... } section, so you can specify different ports for IMAP/POP3.

... so, that's the "where"...  but you're right, it doesn't actually specify 
clearly anywhere the name of the parameter for specifying the port.  A search 
through the mailing list logs turns up that it's listen and ssl_listen, like:

protocol imap {
	listen = *:10143
	ssl_listen = *:10993
}

Timo:  does this mean I could (in theory) leave out the global listen directive, 
so long as I specified a listen directive for _every_ protocol section?
