How can I get OS X's built-in web server to listen to port 8001?

Same way as you would with any other Apache installation. Edit the httpd.conf file to listen on the relevant port.

httpd.conf located at: /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Find line that starts with "Listen"

Thanks, but it still doesn't work outside the local network

If I use the local IP address, it works fine (see "Picture 1")
If I use my main IP address (which works with my other server), it doesn't work (Picture 2)

Picture 1 is using port 80, not 8001. Picture 2 is using 8001. Now, did you restart the HTTP server after editing that file? Apache only reads the config file on startup.

Restarting worked - Thanks
