About "receiving port number": that would be the port that happens to receive the signal, but "reception port number" is about the port that is _intended_ to receive the signal. "incoming port number" is a more probable possibility. But there is a need for some context.

incoming port number


Explanation:
If this is talking about the SMTP (probably SMTP server? For clients, SMTP is used for outgoing messages) setting, the most common description for 受信用ポート is "incoming port". Hence Incoming port number. Receiving port and reception port are also fine. They all make a pair:

Incoming -- outgoing
Receiving -- Sending
Reception -- Transmission
