Specifying a port number on SSMS is pretty easy
Under the server name , specify the server(or ip)\instanceName, ( comma) port
eg: 10.10.10.151\SQL2008,1433
Another way is to setup an alias in Config Manager. Then simply type that alias name when you want to connect. This makes it much easier and is more prefereable when you have to manage several servers/instances and/or servers on multiple ports and/or multiple protocols. Give them friendly names and it becomes much easier to remember them.
