tcp-wrappers will not stop you from being scanned. even if the port is
wrapped it will still show up as an open port to a scan. you also can't
wrap udp services.
if you are paranoid enough that this is an issue i suggest you break out
a firewall book and ipfwadm and decide who exactly you want to be able to
talk to what on your box.

there is also strobe that comes with the netdiag package... it's very
good.
