Can you actually get/put files?  Unless I'm misremembering, tftp
doesn't open a connection with the server until you actually attempt
a file transfer.

You can run netstat to see which ports are available on your system.
For example, on my machine, which is a tftp server, I see

$ netstat -an | more
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
[...]
tcp        0      0  *.22                   *.*	                   LISTEN
udp        0      0  *.67                   *.*                   
udp        0      0  *.69                   *.*                   
[...]

In this case, you can see ssh (tcp/22), bootps (udp/67), and tftp (udp/69)
are all available.  If you don't see that line, you should be in good shape.
