This is entirely irrelevant as there are only two possible cases. The
code is written to handle both cases transparently, and does.
$ netstat -an | grep 2402
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:2402 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:2402 :::*
LISTEN
$ netstat -an | grep 2401
tcp6 0 0 :::2401 :::*
LISTEN
cvsnt doesn't just cater for a couple of OSs - the commercial builds run
on all sorts of environments and the code to handle these cases has to
be (and is) robust.

ip6-localhost:432
I can see absolutely no reason why anyone would want to do this. The
config is there to change the port in case there's a conflicting
application. Changing the address only makes sense for multi-server
configurations and those are pretty rare in themselves.
The only thing missing from cvsnt is the -4 and -6 command line options
that are in evs.
