Ok, I tried compiling Netrek:1999 with USE_PORTSWAP defined.  This enabled
the code in socket.c, and to confirm I put some debug statements in
indicating it was trying to use the code.

But I'm able to connect to just about every server.  I connected to
mit.netrek.org which used 2.9pl2, and so on.  I thought it was supposed to
break? :)

Well, next I'll need to try it on the other side of a firewall to see if it
actually is or is not working.
