Is there a way to tell a daemon to listen only to the localhost without
using a firewall?
any chance you could tell us what deamon youre trying to configure? (that
would help).

This depends on the daemon. Some programs accept a command-line option
to do this. Others don't.
What daemon are you interested in doing this

If the daemon has an option to listen on a specific IP address, yes;
otherwise, no.

As others have stated, check the daemon you are trying to run but many can
also run via tcpserver (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html). Going
this route you can limit the listening IP to
the ftp daemon that is started with inetd it is the ftp that comes with
the freebsd system 5.4.
Thanks

For the stock freebsd ftpd, you should be able to change inetd.conf:
FROM
ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd
ftpd -l
TO
ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd

OK. man ftpd suggests the following options are relevant:
-4 When -D is specified, accept connections via AF_INET4
socket.
-6
