I doubt it, - LimeWire isn't using the specified port for outgoing connections. It's just listening on that port for incoming connections. Only ultrapeers need the listening port to get connected.
For leaf-ultrapeer connections LimeWire uses random ports from the higher ranges (32768 - 65535).
I rather suspect that someone was downloading something from you and this took up so much of your bandwidth that you couldn't sustain your gnutella connections. - In that case going to tools->options->upload-> basic and moving the slider to the far left should help.
If an ISP is blocking p2p traffic, it usually takes him only a few bytes of the message stream to identify it. So you would be disconnected in a matter of seconds.
