I can’t realize a use-case for that… but, if you don’t mind please share with us what you have in mind… I have a server running both strongswan VPN server and freeradius for authentication and accounting. Unix domain sockets would be more efficient for communication between processes on the same machine.
Btw, you could do some _hack_ using _socat_ as described in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2149564/redirecting-tcp-traffic-to-a-uni... to see if the _unix-socket_ is useful in your case. Thanks for the suggestion, but redirecting the traffic will introduce even more overhead than plain tcp. So, freeradius does not support unix domain socket for authentication and accounting, right?

Do you have a use case for that or are you just wondering?
