This is only used (for incoming connections), if your client is a supernode 
(see http://www.kazaa.com/us/help/faq/supernodes.htm#FAQ_supernodes_4).
I think this is not implemented in mldonkey (but on the other hand, I don't 
find anymore the document where I read this), so it should be OK to close
1214. Of course, you need it for outgoing connections to supernodes.

OK :).

For TCP (incoming connections), too.
Note also (you probably know already) that this port is chosen randomly when 
mlnet starts the first time. It will change if you decide one day to throw 
away  your .ini files and start from scratch, or so.

Doesn't look as if you have to care about these.
