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.
