you would definately need a port all for itself.  Otherwise, apache
(or whatever) and vlc will not know who is responsible for taking care
of requests.  infact once one has registered use of the port, I doubt
the other will be able to grab it.

Not a very thorough description I know, but I don't know too much
about how it all works.  I would just open another port.

My mythweb access is restricted via htaccess, and this looks like the same authentication window that IE gives, more or less.  However, when I enter my username and password, it just pops up a window that says "Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server..."  I tried setting up my stream directory at /var/www/html/stream, with apache.apache permissions, but that didn't make any difference.  What am I missing?
