You can use WebSocket (Google it).

Note, however, that Chrome does not support the latest revision of the protocol. Support for the latest revision is planned to be implemented soon and will be available on the dev channel.

Note that websockets won't let you listen to an arbitrary port or open regular sockets (to write an FTP client or such). Unfortunately there's no current mechanism to do this without resorting to NPAPI.
