I would guess something like
RewriteRule /(.*).foo.com http://$1.foo.com:8080/ \
[redirect=temporary,last]

Try that as a start. Also, set RewriteLogLevel to something like 3 and
watch what happens at the request stage. TURN THIS OFF BEFORE GOING
PRODUCTION! THE LOGS WILL EAT DISK SPACE _FAST_. Sorry, just had to
lob that in there :)

Lastly, be careful with directing web requests to ports other than 80
or 8080 if you want the world to be able to reach the site. A lot of
corporate firewalls these days only allow outgoing requests to certain
known ports.
