Before I write another driver co-installer, is there a method to ensure that
msports.dll allocates COM port numbers in a predetermined sequence for a
board which contains multiple serial ports? I was hoping that the Multiport
and PortIndex registry values could be used.
Secondly, am I correct in assuming that COM Arbiter DB should only be
accessed via user space, despite the database actually being stored in the
registry?

No way to enforce order, only accessible in UM via the APIs. Reaching into the implementation behind the APIs will lead to undefined results
