There would be a problem with that.  As far as I know, the /etc/services
file is only populated with official service/port allocations approved
by IANA.  There is even a URL at the top of the file, pointing to
the IANA website - http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

That list has the following entries:

ndl-aas         3128/tcp   Active API Server Port
ndl-aas         3128/udp   Active API Server Port
#                          Martin Norman <martin@ndl.co.uk>
icpv2           3130/tcp   ICPv2
icpv2           3130/udp   ICPv2
#                          Duane Wessels <wessels@nlanr.net>
netbookmark     3131/tcp   Net Book Mark
netbookmark     3131/udp   Net Book Mark
#                          Yiftach Ravid <yiftach@haifa.vnet.ibm.com>

The ICPv2 one seems to correspond to Squid's ICP, as also confirmed by
the contact person listed - Duane Wessels.  The entries for 3128/tcp
and 3131/tcp are already allocated to others, though, and I do not think
that it would be easy to get IANA to revoke those and give them to Squid :(
This, unfortunately, means that there is not much chance of having
the FreeBSD /etc/services file list those services as Squid services.
The most that could be done would be to list the IANA-allocated services
and then list the Squid ones, but commented out - see the /etc/services
entries for 1645/tcp and 1646/tcp, for example.

G'luck,
Peter
