What can go wrong by changing the listening port of sshd? I have changed the port on my vps purely for less clutter in my logs, but I haven't had anything go wrong because of it.

When you have to use the java applet of the Control Panel in your browser to manage your VPS. If your sshd is not on port 22, typically the applet won't find it and you're screwed.

It introduces a communications problem. Which machines are running SSH on a non-standard port and what is it? Plus some tools are harder to set up, IIRC SVN+SSH is one of them.
