This is the first I've heard of a specific port (47000) in respect to the operation of the RAT. Am I to understand that this is a port local to the host upon which RAT is running?

Yup, rat uses it to communicate between its components (UI, media engine, and controlling process).

If so, how would a firewall enter into the picture? Unless you are talking about a on-host firewall?

On-host. If you've got MS internet connection firewall turned on, it blocks the on-host multicast and causes rat to not start up. Two solutions: either turn ICF off, or configure it to allow udp 47000 through. --bob
