Cloudflare has a tunnel daemon that allows you to server a website from a network that doesn’t allow any incoming connections. It’s something between a VPN and a proxy and it should work fine, even from Tor exit nodes. Other services offer similar products.
You don’t even need port 443, though most clients will probably break if you pick another port. You can host a Lemmy server on port 13847 if you want, as long as you make sure federating traffic includes the port number on outgoing traffic.
Getting two hostnames to reach the same server would be the biggest challenge, I think. I have seen some indications in the Lemmy database that may suggest the possibility of multi domain setups, but there’s a good chance this is a remnant of an old design decision that has long since been abandoned.
