That could be possible. You can verify it by instructing the
traceroute program to issue UDP packets, but it will listen
for an ICMP answer, if I remember that mechanism correctly.
Then inspect the packets with Wireshark.

See "man traceroute" for details. Consider asking the question
on the freebsd-hackers@ or freebsd-net@ mailing lists. The
answer to your question is located somewhere in the system's
network stack. ;-)
