There isn't really a standard port for the ORPort or the DirPort. All kinds of 
ports are used for this. For example, you could only allow port 443 and you 
would be good to go, just not for all relays.

In theory, you could create a giant iptables ruleset for every relay out 
there, which you would have to update all the time, because it changes every 
day.
I think that it is a more sensible approach if you configure a couple of 
bridges on your clients and only allow these IP:Port combinations. This would 
be a wiser approach if you aim for a minimum of allowed connection types.
