Any way to open many ports at once?

Below is what I wish to accomplish.  It involves opening all ports above
1024 for access to and from a specific range of ip address.  At first I 
thought of creating [destination set + protocol definition = protocol
rule] but then realized that would mean creating many many many
(64000)protocol definitions to open the ports.  Any ideas?
Thanks

Client:
UDP datagrams are sent to/from the PC (using an arbitrary port>=1024)
from/to one of the servers (using an arbitrary port>=1024).

The server IP addresses are on the subnets:
64.37.148.* , 64.37.149.* , 64.37.150.* , 64.37.151.* , 63.241.40.*,
63.241.41.*, 63.241.42.*, and 63.241.43.*
These network blocks may be summarized as 64.37.148.0/22 and
63.241.40.0/22.

Please note that the application opens a random UDP data port from the
client PC every time the application is run. Thus, the need to have all
ports >= 1024 available.
