Jack,
   I think you can.  You have kcmultiservices.com forward to 
64.202.166.10:80 and kcmultiservice.com forward to 64.202.166.10:81 and 
albertopujols.com forward to 64.202.166.10:82.  The user never has to type 
a port number.  They just type the domain they want.  Each domain is 
forwarded to the port you want.  The only catch is that whoever does your 
domain forwarding needs to be able to accept a port number.
Good day,
Ralph
