This is correct, but there is a bit more to the story ...

    Firewalls can get in the way.  In addition to the standard pmcd port(s)
    (TCP ports 44321, 44322 and 44323) one needs to open ports to allow
    incoming connections and outgoing connections on a range of ports
    for pmdatrace, pmlogger connections via pmlc, and some QA tests.
    Opening the TCP range 4320 to 4350 (inclusive) should suffice.

So, you depending on usage patterns (particularly if you want to use pmlc to 
control a remote pmlogger) you may need to drill a few more holes in the 
firewall.
