That port is not necessary. I haven't ever seen that in relation to EQ. If anything, it might be a required port for playing that the clients need to have, but is not required for connecting to a server. For playing, as long as the client has port 5998 available for use, they should be ok to connect as long as the server has the correct ports open. Since the client is using port 5998 coming from inside the LAN going out, it is not at all needed to do any special port forwarding. Though, sometimes firewalls might need to have such ports open for clients. From the client prospective, as long as port 5998 is not being blocked (by a proxy or whatever if they are trying to play from work or a dorm or something), they shouldn't have to do anything with ports.
