Well, using the openssh client you can do this in your ~/.ssh/config:

Host *.yourdomain.com
    Port 31337

Unfortunately, openssh doesn't support inheritance (or maybe
fortunately) so any settings you put in a wildcard have to be manually
overridden for hosts explicitly declared.

Host mail.yourdomain.com
    Port 31337
    user mailadmin

I realize it's not exactly what you were looking for but it does make
life a little easier.
