I see the gatewate_icmp can use the Alias Service Port , how can icmp monitor a port?

Alias port is not going to matter on gateway_icmp monitor, as ICMP functions over IP protocol. 

It's implemented because higher-layers monitors like TCP or HTTP can be transparent too, and you can configure them to send probes on different ports as well.
