Ralf,
To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing in Linux like what you
describe.
A potential alternative may be possible if the program uses wrappers.
Then you could DENY everything except the allowed daemon(s) by
altering /etc/hosts.allow and hosts,deny.
On the other hand, I fail to see why blocking ports won't do. Why are
you specifically saying NO to that?
