If you are referring to the "cat /var/run/xinetd.dump", no there isn't.
I'm not sure what exactly xinetd.cump contains, but one possibility
could be to modify xinetd to use the sd_notify API [1]

Take avahi-daemon as an example, which uses this facility:

root at pluto:~# systemctl status avahi-daemon.service
avahi-daemon.service - Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2014-02-12 07:36:51 CET; 16h ago
 Main PID: 756 (avahi-daemon)
   Status: "Server startup complete. Host name is pluto.local. Local
service cookie is 500095068."
   CGroup: name=systemd:/system/avahi-daemon.service
           ├─756 avahi-daemon: running [pluto.local]
           └─795 avahi-daemon: chroot helper
...


The "Status" line is information provided by the avahi-daemon process
via the sd_notify API.
