Description:
The documentation for the test suite says that, if you want to use a different port instead of the default 9306/08, you should "edit mysql-test-run and change the values of the master or slave port to one that is available."

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-test-suite.html

The recommended way should be:
Set the MTR_BUILD_THREAD environment variable to an appropriate value, and the test suite will use a different set of ports for master, slave, NDB, and IM).
For example:

$ export MTR_BUILD_THREAD=31
$ ./mysql-test-run.pl [--any-option] [any test name]

How to repeat:
Try the above example

Suggested fix:
Amend the documentation
