No, it would not... /etc/services is a list of
traditional port numbers. It's used to label label outgoing connections, too, so altering it will mislabel anything you connect to on standard ports.
If you moved your https port onto a number not specified in /etc/services, it would just show as a port number in netstat. If you moved it to the same port as some other service, it would show as the wrong service in netstat, because you intentionally made the choice to move it onto a nonstandard port. You shouldn't edit /etc/services to fix that, simply remember what you did.
