Not with SIP as it needs a port for signaling (usually 5060) and RTP 
ports for sending the actual voice packets. So for SIP you will always 
need multiple ports. If you can use IAX then you could use port 22 as 
IAX only needs one port. The question is how are you going to SSH into 
the box if you use the SSH port for Asterisk?
