Hmm, this question is a bit more wide open that you probably
intended, for example if you mean to temporarily block a port using
your built-in firewall (only valid until a restart or resetting of
the firewall)
you can do something like:
sudo ipfw add 100 deny tcp from any to any dst-port 5298 in
rule# allow/deny service(tcp/ip/udp) source to dest
in the terminal
adding a rule for each type of service ip tcp or udp.
You will need the admin password to modify the ruleset. Try typing
man ipfw (in Terminal) for some info on this and do a Google search
for more info.
sudo ipfw list will show you the rule set in place right now.

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure
if I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
