If you limit the scope to certain protocol/port combinations (such as
TCP/23 for TELNET), either ipfw or tcp_wrappers can accomplish some
logging.

I expect you'll find tcp_wrappers somewhat more flexible.

To a certain extent, either may also be used to limit source/destination
pairs for the activity in question.

They are not mutually exclusive.
