Yes, it is possible - this is from man sshd_config:

     Port    Specifies the port number that sshd listens on.  The default is
             22.  Multiple options of this type are permitted.  See also
             ListenAddress.


I have just tested it - your sshd_config needs to include something like
this:

Port 22
Port 2222

etc.

It works just fine:

# sockstat -4l | grep sshd
root     sshd       38948 3  tcp4   *:2222                *:*
root     sshd       38948 4  tcp4   *:22                  *:*
