not a BSD expert either, but I would think that would be very unlikely.
I would suggest reverting r2025 in trunk and start looking for an alternative
solution, but would be probably just easier to revert r2043 for 3.1 as well
to solve the release blocker, with the possibility of adding some logic to
the init script to try to help with the test case you were trying to prevent
by the original feature.

PS. apache httpd must have a solution as they don't seem to have kqueue
disabled, but that solution is probably just to delay the port binding
as was done originally (except that they manage better the failures)
