Comment (by simpletoon):

 I don't know enough about Twisted or the buildbot code to do anything with
 it myself.  An idea may be something like using
 twisted.internet.endpoints.clientFromString. In order to be backwards
 compatible, BuildSlave could take both parameters still.  If the port
 parameter is None, then treat the hostname parameter as the string and use
 clientFromString.  Otherwise use the current TCPClient.  New slaves
 created with buildbot create-slave would have the 'masterEndpoint'
 variable, and would call BuildSlave(masterEndpoint, None, ...), while
 current slaves would use BuildSlave(hostname, portnum, ...)
