TBB supports randomized socks port and control port configurations. I use it on 
a relay just fine. 

These options are disabled on Windows due to some poor assumptions with 
Windows-based antivirus/firewall software. However, linux and macosx work fine 
by default.

'SocksPort auto
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1
ControlPort auto' is all you need in your torrc
