lpd(8) is easy,
-p The -p flag causes lpd not to open an Internet listening socket.
This means that lpd will not accept any connections from any
remote hosts, although it will still accept print requests from
all local users.
For X, see Xserver(8),
-nolisten trans-type
Disable a transport type. For example, TCP/IP
connections can be disabled with -nolisten tcp
Did you actually look at netstat(1) though? The default XFree86 will
start your X in the "no listen" state from startx(1) for you.
