You mean the port of the schedd service, correct?

1) You can get the port of the schedd service by querying the collector 
via SOAP, using the methods in condor_collector.wsdl, to retrieve the 
ClassAd representing the schedd you want to talk to.  One of the 
attributes in this classad will contain the IP address and port of the 
schedd.  This is the equal of doing "condor_status -schedd -l" for a 
given schedd.

2) Or, alternatively, in your condor_config can specify
    SCHEDD_ADDRESS_FILE = /some/path/to/some/file
if it is not specified already.  If your java client is running on the 
same machine as the schedd (2-tier), then you could just look in the 
file specified by SCHEDD_ADDRESS_FILE to discover the port.

3) Or alternatively, you can run the schedd on a well-known port by 
specifying
  SCHEDD_ARGS = -p XXX
in the condor_config file where XXX is the port you want the schedd to 
use (instead of the default of the schedd picking a dynamic port).

p.s. I just entered a ticket to add documentation to the Condor Manual 
about using the methods in condor_collector.wsdl.  :)
