Use firewall to keep one port open for same service while other is closed. Xvnc opens port per user session. So only firewall will help you. See
Redhat / CentOS / Fedora Linux Open Port Be careful with firewall, if you are working on remote server over ssh, you may lockdown yourself. Instead of accept use DROP target to block port.
