Technically, all of them. A tor client connects to the OR-Ports of tor
relays, and they can be on any port. Many are on 443 and 9001, though.

But you can configure your node to only use specific ports outgoing,
see FirewallPorts and  FascistFirewall in
https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
So, even only of 443, 9001, and perhaps 80 is workable.
