You may want to give unicornscan a try if you haven't already:

> From the man page:

       [-B, --source-port Port]
               Source port for sent packets, numeric value -1 means to
use a random source port (the default situation), and other valid set-
              tings are 0 to 65535. normally this option will not be
used, but sometimes it is useful to say scan from port 53  into  a
net-
              work.
