The easiest way to use a non-standard SSH port is to use the latest
version 0.12 beta, which you can find here:
http://xpra.org/beta/
It includes the ability to specify the SSH server port as part of the
connection string, ie:
ssh/username:password at servername:port/DISPLAY
(username and password are optional, though the username is often
necessary as MS Windows usernames tend to be different from the Unix
server usernames)

Alternatively, you should be able to specify the port using the --ssh
switch, which uses plink.exe on win32 (untested):
xpra_cmd.exe attach --ssh="C:\Program Files\Xpra\Plink.exe -P 41" ...
