Did you try?
I have now had a chance to try it under cygrunsrv from Cygwin 1.5.25 and 1.7

Under 1.5.25, it doesn't work because of the sockets issue

Under 1.7, a new issue is revealed: execve doesn't maintain the same process ID, so cygrunsrv thinks the service has actually stopped, and the cygrunsrv process exits. This is obviously quite bad.

Huh?  The *Windows* PID is not the same after an exec, but the
Cygwin PID is maintained after an exec.  Try this:

cygrunsrv definitely stays running when I start gmond. It stops immediately after the execve call - it thinks the process has stopped, but in fact a new gmond is running with a new Windows PID. I am using the -x option to cygrunsrv and the -f (foreground) and -p (pidfile) options to gmond. Which PID does cygrunsrv look for?

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/wait.h>
    #include <windows.h>

    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
      int status;

      if (argc > 1)
        {
          printf ("Execed Child: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n",
                  getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ());
          return 0;
        }
      printf ("Parent: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n",
              getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ());
      switch (fork ())
        {
        case 0:
          printf ("Forked Child: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n",
                  getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ());
          execl ("./x", "x", "child", NULL);
          break;
        default:
          break;
        }
      wait (&status);
      return 0;
    }
