Hi Remo, Unfortunately no. It's the only way to handle sandboxing requirements on the Mac in any sane way is support the GNTP protocol over TCP on localhost.
It's a little icky to try and firewall your loopback adapter. You don't gain a lot by doing that since you are only preventing yourself from accessing yourself. You are in for a lot of pain doing that since it's fairly common.
