Yes, but as far as I know it's not officially assigned.

Some time ago I wanted to reserve that port. However, the online form
didn't provide a way to select (or at least propose) the port-number.
So I didn't actually send the form because I didn't want to get some
random number for SANE.

Has someone more experience with the IANA assignment process?
I'm also not sure what to insert in the input fields 2-6. The SANE
standard and its network part are rather long...
The application form is here:
