The answer to your question is your NOT in violation while at anchor !
The flip side of that is that emphatically you cannot be "underway" with anything other than your require navigation lights on (this includes interior lighting).

I had my skirt lights on while at anchor and watching the fireworks display in Wolfeboro bay. Marine Patrol pulled up along side and very nicely informed me that I had to turn them off and they were in fact illegal to use in the state of NH. I specifically asked him if it was illegal even though I was at anchor and not underway. He informed that they are not to be turned on at anytime while in NH waters...
FWIW;
