Can you specify ports in hosts file?
The hosts file is for host name resolution only (on Windows as well as on Unix-like systems). You cannot put port numbers in there, and there is no way to do what you want with generic OS-level configuration – the browser is what selects the port to choose. So use bookmarks or something like that.
Can I map a IP address and a port with ETC hosts?
No. The /etc/hosts file is part of your system’s domain name resolver (it will check this file, then check DNS). The resolver’s job is to convert text domain names to an IP address, not an IP address + port.
How do I specify an IP port?

PORT settings is a hosting server side setting and has nothing to do with the DNS. When pointing a domain or sub domain to an IP the hosting server will control the port element via a virtual host file. So in other words, simply put the A record to IP address and then have the virtual host file control what port the server operates on.
