Are you using the Red Hat/CentOS postgresql RPMs, or some other
distribution of PG?

Odd, particularly seeing that that port was evidently opened before
5432. The only idea that comes to mind is that it's being opened by
a library for Kerberos or LDAP or some such. What auth methods have
you got listed in pg_hba.conf?
