One solution would be to create an ssh wrapper script, like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    exec ssh -p 2222 "$@"

and refer to it instead of ssh using -e (i.e. ``-e myssh'').

Another solution would be to consult the ssh manpage and look at the ways one
can force ssh to use different options on a per host basis. In this case you
would use the Port directive in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config:

    Host myhost
	Port 2222
