Should I be concerned, or is this maybe part of portsentry or something similar?

That's exactly what it is.  portsentry listens on every
commonly-recognized port that doesn't already have something running
there and reports any connections it receives.  If you want to know
what's really listening on your machine (whether via netstat, nmap,
or whatever else), you need to shut down portsentry first.


Thanks!
