If you take a look at the sys file below (hacked out of my uucp) it 
supports ports other than 540 by replacing 540 with the new port number.
I don't know much about the TLI setup you have -- so the tegG protocol
line may need to be replaced.

The taylor uucp sys file looks something like this...

system machine
time Any 55
protocol-parameter t timeout 80
protocol-parameter t retries 1
protocol-parameter e timeout 80
protocol-parameter e retries 1
baud 540
port type tcp
protocol tegG
port seven-bit false
port reliable true
port half-duplex false
port service 540
address machine.com
chat "" "" ogin:-\r-ogin: login_id word: password

The HDB (BNU) uucp equivalent is something like this (540 being the port)

machine Any TCP,tegG 540 machine.com "" "" ogin:-\r-ogin: login_id word: password
