If you mean where along the path it is getting dropped, no.  Other than
what you have tried so far with traceroute, I don't believe there is
really any way to tell WHERE certain ports are being dropped.  For all
you know, there could be a transparent firewall that drops the packet
and does not send back an ICMP notification.

Hope this helps.
