I don't know of a good way to find out what program has bound to a port.  
I would do a "ps -auxww" and start looking for candidates.  I do know
that /etc/services is just a list of port numbers and associated ports.  
Literally any program can bind to any port (tcp or udp) above 1024.  
Only the superuser can bind to ports 1023 and below.

What unnamed port do you have listening?  TCP or UDP?  Please include a 
"uname -a" as well.  FreeBSD has had it's share of silly holes lately 
and has required one to "keep up" on patches quite a bit.
