For two documents to be considered to have the same origin, the protocol (http/https), the domain and the port (the default 80 or :xx) have to be indentical. So no, you cannot use xhr against a different port.

Note that IE6 under certain security settings lets you request a different port on the same domain. – Alsciende Oct 13 '09 at 10:12
