More than 65K connections of a proxy on FreeBSD

Yes, it still remains.

connect() rather than at the bind() time (when the destination is not yet
known) so in case of a single source ip and single backend/port the ~65k
limit still exists. 

You are right for the case of single source IP and single backend-port
pair.
The thing is that in case of single source IP and multiple backend-port
pairs overall amount of connections is still limited by 65K. Linux's
IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT increases the limit up to 65K connections per single
backend-port pair (single source IP remains the same for all connections to
all backends) and NGINX supports the feature. So I wonder if there's
something like on FreeBSD.
