This doesn't make much sense. If you need apache to listen on a particular
port then it needs to listen on that port and there isn't any reason to
be checking other ports.
What you might want to do is see if anything else on the system is using
that port. Looking at /etc/services is a quick way to look for potential
conflicts. It will tell which ports are typically used by which services.
You can also run netstat and look for sockets in a LISTEN state to see which
ones are actually being used on your system at a given time.

The following will show you what ports are currently in use...
netstat -a
You probably want to grep the output for the port you are interested in. If the port is not listed, it is not in use.
