I may be totally off, but couldn't you just try to open a socket to the
relevant port - if it goes OK, you're fine. If not, well...
example code in PHP:

 if($fp = fsockopen($host_domain, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout)){
        // - juhuu!
}else{
        // - boohoo...

}


Just my quick-and-dirty $0.02
