You do not have to write code on server to listen to port or send stream to the client.
Port is configuration stuff , so you decide on ports on which your FMS would be listening. Like by default it listens to port 1935 and 80. So when your flash player client makes connection, it goes to this port by default. Now if you configure it to something else, you can specify that port when your client makes connect i.e. for example
nc.connect("rtmp://<server-ip>:<port>/applicationName");   where <port> is port number where FMS is listening.
You need to any coding on server-side to send stream to client. Also there is no encoding or decoding done at server-end per se, basically who publishes the stream does the encoding of the stream in format which are accepted by FMS and then decoding is done by Flash Player client.
There is no actionscript present to do encoding or decoding per se, but you can decide on your file format when you publish the stream basically either flv or mp4 format. If you using Flash Player as publisher, you can use Sorenson Video Codec and nellymoser or Speex Audio code. However you can FMLE to get more options like On2 and H264 video codecs.
You can go though FMS Developer Guide docs (which comes with installation) to get started off on simple examples.Also there are some samples which are present in documentation folder.
