BBM uses a BB's unique device ID, not an IMEI, so if it's ever reversed you'll need a BB for the ID, which means you don't need the port.

WhatsApp itself has servers, these servers receive the messages that are sent to you and generate a notification for your device (on iOS), this means that even if the app's killed, you'll get notifications.
Android has a services thing, that generates local notifications when they're received, but WhatsApp always runs in the background as a service.
Wazapp simply hides the window, the UI is still running in the background (even though it doesn't show in the task switcher - like Sociality), and generates local notifications. If the app is killed somehow (killall wazapp is one) then you won't get notifications.
