As explained before, you got two options then:
A) reject the call (find proper AT command or whatever for that)
B) shut down modem (AT+CFUN=0 or sth)
A will create a busy signal at callers end, B will usually result in "the 
number you've called is temporarily not available"

Worth noting that you need to keep up the AT+CFUN state for >5..10s and then 
revert to CFUN=2 or what's normal status, to allow further calls in as well as 
out.
There *might* be a dedicated command defined in GSM/3GPP to reject a call with 
"temprarily not available", which would be the better alternative to shutting 
down modem for 10s. You have to find out, I don't know off top of my head.
Also I can't give any advice how to implement any of that on qtmoko. I _could_ 
tell you how to do it on maemo, with a 5..10 shellscript lines (buzzword dbus-
scripting)

A per-contact mute ringtone might be already all you need?

Reject is basically no problem (though no idea how to implement it on qtmoko), 
"they can't call me" won't fly since that would need support from (your) 
carrier to reject the call invite before it even gets signalled to your 
device. Switching off modem hard as soon as an inbound call from blacklisted 
number gets detected would at least cause a "the callee isn't available" 
message.
