It can be done by modifying file /etc/init.d/pfclient , but as Planefinder wont like users to screw their feeder, I wont post the method. However just see the screeshot below in which the planefinder map is diaplayed at port 8181 instead of 30053 after I made that modification 
And "where" should i look in that file please?It can be done by modifying file /etc/init.d/pfclient , but as Planefinder wont like users to screw their feeder, I wont post the method.

The modification is simple, but the problem is that a little mistake in modification will result in pfclient to fail.
I can try to write a bash script which can do the job automatically, without user intervention. This will eliminate human/user errors, but I dont want to post the script here unless @Lee Armstrong or @Mark Daniels have no objection.
You can actually add something to the config file in `/etc/pfclient-config.json` to do this.
"web_server_port" - set this to whatever port you require and it will override the default of 30053

Thanks Lee. Your method is much easier than what I did in file /etc/init.d/pfclient. I added --web_port=8181 to the line starting with start-stop-daemon
After above modification, and saving the file, following commands should be issued
Code:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart pfclientNow I have deleted --web_port=8181 from file /etc/init.d/pfclient, making it back to default, and used your suggestion to modify file /etc/pfclient-config.json as shown in screenshot below by inserting the portion "web_server_port":"8181", pointed by red arrow:
My Settings.
I have broken "all-items-in-single-line" default setting into "one-item-per-line" (Easier to read & modify)
After making modifications, and saving file, issued following command
Code:
sudo systemctl restart pfclient.

As suggested by @Lee Armstrong , please do modifications in following file:
/etc/pfclient-config.json
This is easier and safer.
