Do you have a getty process running on ttys0? If so, it's defined in /etc/inittab. My distribution (SuSE8.x) has the following line: #S0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttys0 vt102 which as you see is commented out. The port is free for whatever use is required of it.
I have the line, but it's already commented out. But Linux still knows about /dev/ttyS0 and I'd really like it not to.
