No, not unless you know that the port's implementation is sufficiently
constrained. In general, reading from a port can involve thread
switches and synchronization, and those are not allowed in callbacks
from foreign libraries.

(BC doesn't prohibit non-atomic callbacks as aggressively as CS, but
interacting with the Racket thread scheduler from a callback can go
wrong in various ways with BC, too.)
