Yes, it often is the way to detect the presence of a web site.

Regarding uninstall this would only be true if the port is part of the key to
find the website.
...IS the port part of the key?

There isn't anything like this now. Most of the work to find the next free port
will have to be in the native CustomAction code since it will have to scan the
machine. However, doing all the parsing of the string format (i.e. "8*" or
"80+" or "80-") in the extension would be ideal and maybe just set an attribute
to say, "search for next free port".
One of the more challenging problems will be to remember which port was
automatically picked so that on uninstall the correct website is removed.
That's possibly the hardest part of this feature.

For one of my clients we did this, and discovered that it wasn't as
straightforward as we had hoped (just because a port doesn't have an active
current listener doesn't mean it isn't "taken"). Alas, that client owns the
implementation we came up with so I don't have a starting point I could share
but I could contribute to the discussion (and possibly even to the final
solution).
Is this something your willing to fund to contribute to the community?

Subject: [WiX-devs] Wix IIS Extension: New feature discussion
Hi All,
@robmen suggested I email this group regarding another feature (that I think is
missing/would be very useful)
My concept is that I should be able to tell Wix to install the website
component on the next available 8* port (i.e. if 80 is used, try 81, of 81 used
goto 82 etc)
Has anyone else noticed the lack of this functionality.
How does everyone feel about this idea?
Had anyone out there already written a custom task that does this that we could
use as a starting point to implement natively in the IIS Extension?
Regards,
Andrew
