Ryan, just from testing this with SSH tunneling, it looks like it
would take some work to support this.  I mapped my localhost port 8080
to port 80 on the demo.gapines.org server and found that some of the
CSS links show up as absolute http://localhost/ links without the
8080.  You also have to contend with encryption via SSL, which uses
yet another port, 443 (https), and you might end up having to disable
encryption (for OPAC and staff client).

We have better luck with the slimpac (the alternate OPAC for screen
readers and mobile devices), which works fine on a different port.

Hrmm. :-(
