If you use ipfilter, use this rule:

block in quick on xl0 proto tcp all flags FUP

Also, to be truly sure:

block in quick all with ipopts
block in quick all with short
block in quick all with frag

And in your kernel (if you've read the caveats in LINT)

options         TCP_DROP_SYNFIN

These should do a reasonably good job of hiding your from NMAP scans. 
Of course, these don't really hide you from passive OS fingerprinting
with tools like Siphon, but that's another matter entirely.
