Using a proxy I believe you can just hide that page.

Wondering, do you want to hide them from the preview page only?
What about the capabilities document? If I use a WMS/WFS client those
layers will show up because they are in the caps document as well.

For what I can see you might want to have a "hidden" property on a layer
that stops the layer from being advertised around, but still work when
people ask for it directly.
It requires quite a bit of changes, GUI, configuration, capabilities generators
in the various protocols. Long but not complicated, it requires a skilled java
developer with a bit of Wicket experience and WMS/WFS/WCS protocols
knowledge to implement it.

Cheers
