No, it means that if you implement the future we might be truly impressed that you managed to figure out how to do it, given that you might have had to reverse-engineer an undocumented AIX interface in order to do it.
BTW, the page at http://www.pugcentral.org/howto/truss.htm says that "AIX 5L" (I don't know if that's 5.1 or not) includes "truss", so you might be able to use that to trace tcpdump on a system that hasn't run tcpdump since it was booted (so that tcpdump will load the driver), if the APIs for loading drivers aren't documented. The page claims that earlier releases had a tracing mechanism but that it didn't let you trace what system calls a *particular* process made. However, the AIX 4.3 documentation at an IBM Web site says that there's a "syscalls" command that can be used to trace a particular system call. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
