nfq_bind_pf() call is linking the kernel nf_queue capability with the
nfnetlink_queue module for a given protocol. This has only to be done
once on a system (as nfnetlink_queue is the only userspace queuing
module for now).

Thus your program can simply ignore the return on nfq_[un]bind_pf()
function.

BR,
