Not as far as I know.  I suppose bindresvport() could be changed to
walk /etc/services and only use one of the 450 reserved ports not
listed.  Another alternative is to set the
net.inet.ip.portrange.lowlast sysctl a little higher; 700 maybe. 
600-1024 is the portrange that has been historically assigned as "local
port numbers that root processes can use".
