Put up a packet filter.  With IPFW you could do:

ipfw add reject tcp from any to me setup

They could then start all the listening daemons they wanted, but the
kernel would prevent any of them from ever getting a connection.  For
UDP, something like this should work:

ipfw add pass udp from me to any keep-state
ipfw add reject udp from any to me

... which would allow connections to be initiated from the machine, but
not to the machine.
