Why do you believe it is the port number?  You haven't given us any error
message to try and convince us of that.  My best blind guess at your
problem is that you have not enabled the tcpip_socket parameter in the
postgresql.conf file.  Prior to the 8.0 release the database does not
listen on a tcpip socket by default, but instead makes itself available
over unix sockets (which Java cannot use).
