I thought there was a followup that lead to the first part.

Aha...
	 http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/ipsec/1998/09/msg00124.html

according to section 5 of IKE:

        The entire ID payload (including ID type,
        port, and protocol but excluding the generic header) is hashed into
        both HASH_I and HASH_R.

However, I looked at the DOI, and it does impose severe constraints
on the port number used:

   During Phase I negotiations, the ID port and protocol fields MUST be
   set to zero or to UDP port 500.  If an implementation receives any
   other values, this MUST be treated as an error and the security
   association setup MUST be aborted.  This event SHOULD be auditable.

  Well, I can see why I beleived that the source port had to 500.
  An implementation which replies to any port would work seemlessly
with implementations that sent from port 500, and if you have port 500 
open to receive, it seems simple enough to receive on that port as well.
