I do something similar.  I just have different host stanzas in  
my .ssh/config file with ports listed like this:

host my.home.com
   hostname my.home.com
   port 22223

host linuxbox
   hostname linuxbox.home.com
   port 2223

This also has the advantage of being able to type "ssh linuxbox"  
instead of "ssh -p 2223 my.home.com"

That took care of the multiple known_hosts entries for the same host  
for me.  Hope that helps.
