You might consider using libvirt, which (among many other relevant features) can dynamically assign VNC ports (thus managing the uniqueness constraint) and will expose the currently selected port as part of the domain's XML configuration. (Getting a VNC viewer going with libvirt is considerably easier than that, though -- "virt-viewer VM_NAME" will do the trick).
