Run ipfw(8) or a similar firewall and set up a rule that sends an ICMP reject whenever it detects an incoming connection on port 113 as part of your firewall configuration. Eg. something like:
01600 reset tcp from any to me dst-port 113 setup

Thanks...but I have quite a robust Cisco firewall in place ahead of the freebsd machines...so I dont -need- to run ipfw...Hmmm...
Actually since the Cisco is dropping any packets already, I wonder if 'blackhole' is simply a stupid idea in the first place...
