The echo service isn't responsible for ping replies, that is the kernel. You have to configure a firewall of you choice (ipf, ipfw) silently dropping icmp-echo packets. For details on IPFilter see http://www.ipfilter.org/. There you will find some documentation and a real good how-to. For details howto find documentation on IPFirewall see the handbook chapter 10.7, Firewalls.
