Somehow it is.  I invoked it with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ mount -t davfs URL moint_point
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Looking at the whereabouts of mount:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mount: /run/setuid-programs/mount.davfs /run/setuid-programs/mount /run/setuid-programs/mount.ntfs-3g /run/setuid-programs/mount.nfs /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/bin/mount /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.davfs /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.lowntfs-3g /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.ntfs /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and mount.davfs:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mount: /run/setuid-programs/mount.davfs /run/setuid-programs/mount /run/setuid-programs/mount.ntfs-3g /run/setuid-programs/mount.nfs /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/bin/mount /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.davfs /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.lowntfs-3g /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.ntfs /gnu/store/b01q3awvrfzaj8n8hx73qqfyf59przh8-profile/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It does seem that the binaries are setuid first.  But then looking at my
own $PATH I see the setuid paths are not first in the list.  So do they
have to go to the front of the list?  I just tested this on a clean user
account where setuid are set first, but it fails there too.

I also temporarily added the mount point to /etc/fstab.  Mounting this
mount point as root works.  It fails as user too.  There is a
possibility that I did not get mount flags right there, but that will be
a different issue.  The next will be to add this do system declaration
as well.  But first when user can mount it.

Even when calling the binary from /run/setuid-programs will fail
as well.
