On server: Menu Barrier > Change Settings, set the port you want under the Networking section.
On client: Set port number following a : after the server IP, e.g. 192.168.0.99:1025 (where the example IP 192.168.0.99 of course must be changed to the address of your actual server).

Oh sorry, looks different on MacOS than on Windows. Try F4 key.

Edit: I have never used a Mac in my life, but did a quick search: Could it be that the non-bold "Barrier" item on top of your screen is the app menu, where you will find Barrier > Change Settings as I described earlier?

App menus are located next to the Apple menu. The name of the app you’re using appears in bold, followed by other menus...

On server, you set the port as part of the -a, --address <address> option. See:
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/wiki/Command-Line#server-command-line-options

E.g for port 1234, some alternatives are:
--address :1234
--address 0.0.0.0:1234
--address localhost:1234
