Is it possible for Siverlight to communicate directly with an open TCP port on the user’s machine?
in a word No.
You can use sockets (and therefore TCP) to communicate with open ports (in a limited range) on the server that is hosting the application, but you cannot connect to any other machines. if you need to interoperate with something on the client machine i would suggest using the new COM interoperability in Silverlight 4 (here is an example)
