Tor already does this for the DirPort. So if a relay has a DirPort 80 
configured, it would conflict with the app.
As long as the HTTP port 80 can be turned off, it could be useful.

Would serving port 25 also require a MX record in DNS, or do webiron and others 
send mail direct to the relay regardless of MX records?

This would be useful, but please note that the disclaimers vary by jurisdiction 
and language, so that would need to be configurable.
