It would be nice to have an option to choose a random free port, and the target program can read it from environment variables.

Research direction
Start by locating the option handling for fixture-managed daemons and how environment variables are passed to the target program. Determine how a random free port should be selected and exposed, then add coverage for the new option and its environment variable behavior. Done means a target program can reliably read the selected free port.
