you can setup different host-entries as kind of virtual hosts in your hosts-section. that is what i do

host blah1.domain.net hostname www.domain.net user blah1 IdentityFile .ssh/blah Port 523434

host blah2.domain.net hostname www.domain.net user blah1 IdentityFile .ssh/blah Port 22

The first host-section i use in an environment, where i cannot get through port 22.

Sincerly
