No, not at all. In fact they are complementary and work beautifully
together.
T/TCP and the replacement are about cutting the extra round-trip times for
the three-way handshake of TCP. accept_filter is sort of a buffer that
defers readablility to userland until a full request has been received
(a HTTP/1.1 request for example).
