Not really.  The whole point was the ability to open a socket that is
actually sitting in a ufs partition... y'know, the files that ls -F shows
with a = tacked on them.  :)

I actually made a portal module that does the connect if you open a
translated path on a portalfs (see my other post about this, or look at
ftp://ftp.duh.org/pub/NetBSD-hacks/mount_portal/ ...).  It works similar to
the file module of portalfs, but opens unix domain socket files instead. 
That still doesn't rectify the situation that you can't directly open these
files. 

Not to matter much for now, but it was a nifty idea to bring up for
discussion.
