I'd say "you should never start without all the ports that the config
specified" - so better fail than have a "success!" message with missing 
TCP ports that you might only notice some time later.

On the SO_REUSE issue, I do not have strong opinions - if your machine
is comprimised by an attacker that can bind to tcp/53, you're hosed 
anyway, so the security argument is not convincing me very much.
