Each virtual server has its own IP address so you can reuse port numbers between instances. Without a cluster, you cannot reuse port numbers.

The IP for the public NIC has a port assigned for the default instance. It
won't affect the default instance if I assign it another port for other named
instances, right?

OK. Go into the cluster admin tool and find the IP address for the public
NICs. That is the port you have to open on the firewall. You have to add
1434 if you want to resolve SQL Instances by name instead of just IP address
and port number. Note that traffic may appear to the firewall as
originating from the underlying physical NIC address, not the virtual
address of the SQL instance.
