you are correct...they all need to be talking on the same port.
it's just not something that comes up very often (if at all?  at least,
i don't remember anyone asking for the capability).  if you keep the two
seperate, it's certainly easy to have a console.cf/.consolerc file that
sets the port number appropriately, based on which master you talk to.
but the user still needs to know the proper incantation to talk to
either the old or new server (and when to).  or rename the console
command to console-old and let them talk to the old server that way.
not ideal at all, but perhaps a good motivation for folks to make the
move quicker?  (only semi-serious there)
