We use DSN-less connections, so have unixODBC installed with an odbcinst.ini 
entry pointing to freeTDS. This works great, except that I can't find a way 
to set defaults for port or tds version. We have an existing system that runs 
on windows, and I'd really like to provide connection string compatibility 
between *NIX and the existing Windows code (which uses the SQL Server ODBC 
driver, with default port and tds version).

Is there any way to set the default port with the freetds odbc driver?
