You should not have to reboot for the port to be opened. When PostgreSQL starts, (either by starting it manually, or then the machine boots) it will open the port. IIt definitely sounds like the firewall could be your problem. I'd try connecting to the database server's port 5432 via telnet from an outside location, so that your packets have to pass thru the firewall in question.
