DNS works much like a phone book. If you have the name, DNS can provide you with the numbers (the IP address). Port numbers are not specified in DNS, only the IP address. Going back to the phone book analogy, the port number represents an indication of what the two computers are going to "talk about", which is outside the scope of phone books and DNS.

WebHop is an extra feature provided by DynDNS. It is not really a DNS feature, but an HTTP redirection service, which is probably just the thing you need. It enables your users to connect to the URL http://your-webhop-hostname.dyndns.org on port 80, and then redirects them to http://your-normal-hostname.dyndns.org:8888. For more details, see the documentation Cry Havok linked to.

You can't directly. You could however use a WebHop to achieve that. See the instructions linked from the WebHop description page.
