 Hi @dickensayieko,

 This functionality is already supported, although not documented on the
 installation screen - it even supports MySQL Sockets/pipes using the
 standard syntax.
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#MySQL_Alternate_Port

 Given it's not common to need to change the port (or even hostname) i'm
 not sure adding a mention of it specifically is needed here - especially
 as what I'd expect to work (`hostname:port`) will just work.
