Theoretically, could I block a service running on port x by starting some other service on x with it? Would it return two responses or one big mixed response?

No, you can't. You can only bind one service/process to a given port at the same time.

Yes, it will tell you something like "Port x is already in use". – Sven Sep 25 '12 at 20:38
