There seems to be an inconsistence between man pages Jörg Harmuth has installed
and of some other people (the original poster and myself at least).

man iptables:

mport
...
 --ports port[,port[,port...]]
	Match if the both the source and destination ports are
	equal to each other and to one  of  the  given
	ports.

multiport
...
	used in conjunction with -p tcp or -p udp.
	rts port[,port[,port...]]
	Match if the both the source and destination ports
	are equal to each other and to one  of  the  given
	ports.

BTW, what is the diffence between mport and multiport modules?
