To partially answer my own question here, it appears that the initial 
connection in the Socket constructor is sensitive to Thread.interrupt(). 
  This strikes me as a somewhat hokey solution however.  I'm still 
hoping for something better.



    private static void test2( String hostname, int port ) {
       Thread t = new Thread( new ConnectTask( hostname, port ) );
       try {
          Thread.sleep( 1000 );
       } catch(InterruptedException ex) {}
       t.interrupt();
       while( t.isAlive() ) {
          try {
             t.join();
          } catch (InterruptedException ex ) {}
       }
       System.out.println("Thread finished. " + t );
    }



    private static class ConnectTask implements Runnable {
       private final String hostname;
       private final int port;

       public ConnectTask(String hostname, int port) {
          this.hostname = hostname;
          this.port = port;
       }

       @Override
       public void run() {
          try {
             Socket sock = new Socket( hostname, port );
             System.out.println("created: "+sock);
          } catch (IOException ex) {
             System.err.println(ex);
             throw new RuntimeException(ex);
          }
       }

    }
