Accessing remotely - ports blocked

I want to be able to access Samba remotely (from outside the subnet, from
an isp), but the top level pipe into our network filters and blocks all
Windows/Samba/etc ports.

Is there a way I can use a different port?  I know I can change the port in
/etc/services, but how will that affect users?  Can windows just keep doing
the same as with the default ports without any changes to the client machine?

Thanks!
