Are you running samba or acting as a gateway for any Windows or samba
machines?  They'd most likely be the ones sending out these packets, which
your dial-on-demand sofware is diligently coming up and trying to send out.

I missed the start of this thread, so I don't know what dial-on-demand
software you're using, but I know that diald can be configured to ignore data
on certain ports, so you can tell it to never bring (or keep) the link up for
traffic on port 138.
