I don't think there are any ramifications/disadvantages of running the SSH daemon on a non standard port.
Running sshd on a non-standard port is highly useful ; I always have 2 seperate sshd instances. One on 22 and one on 222. This way, if I muck up an sshd upgrade, or config change, I can always get in through the other instance on 222.
It is important to keep the 2 instances seperate, with serperate startup scripts and binaries (as in, cp /sbin/sshd /sbin/sshd222)
