Frans.

AppArmor is designed for servers, however OpenSuSE's built-in firewall works *almost* like the OP's requirements, the difference being the user is required to know in advance to open the port. A few mouse clicks, and it's done.

The fallacy with the OP's argument about 'popping up a dialog box to allow that application' is that all Windoze users are conditioned to hit that OK button for EVERYTHING, so a confirmation dialog just as bad as no security at all.
