Most daemons that bind to "priveleged" ports and run as a non-root uid,
start as root, then change the effective UID after binding to the port.

Aside from writing the program to do these things, there are packages
such as daemontools (it's in the ports tree) available that provide the
functionality required as wrapper programs
