 No , because you are talking about different ip connections.
 That would confuse your ip stack.

 The receiving port is undefined, because you don't know
 the state of all the other connections, and the number of them on
 the first place.

 Firewalls using state full inspection, know about allowed connections
 if you define that your squid box, is allowed for http connections.

 It will block remote initiating connections to random ports on
 your squid box.
