Only in the case of SPT, DPT 22, 111.  Others have seemingly random SPT

You've got connect attempts (SYN packets) on ports 21, 22, 25, 111
(ftp, ssh, smtp, portmapper/sunrpc).

My guess is that someone is looking to see if you (or anyone on the
network (broadcast address)) have these services running.  Can't tell if
they're just probing for running services, of if they're actually
looking for exploits.  All I know is that all of the above have known
vulnerabilities and exploits.

21 - wu-ftpd - buffer overflow gives root shell - fixed?
22 - openssh - buffer overflow gives root shell - fixed
25 - sendmail - loads of bugs - fixed
111 - portmapper - rpc, nfs - say no more
