Not until all of the software that is part of the distribution which 
currently uses cygipc has been officially switched over to using 
cygserver.  At present, this includes

  postgresql
  cygwin-xfree (all packages)
  xemacs
  GraphicsMagick
  ImageMagick
  gd
  ddd
  gv
  xaw3d
  openbox
  fvwm
  x2x
  lesstif
  xwinclip

I'm not sure how many of these directly use cygipc themselves, or just 
need it because they're X programs, and XFree86 needs it.
