x86-64 became more capable and Alpha and Itanium was dropped, so
suddenly there were a business case for porting VMS to x86-64.

Maybe it is my lack of imagination, but I cannot see any change
in circumstances that would create a business case for web browser
on VMS.

It could listen on any port. But the port number does not really matter.
