Somewhat. On the "Advanced/Filters" page, you can specify on
which ports packets should be blocked. However, it looks like you
can only do this for 10 different ports (for TCP; and 10
for UDP). I haven't read the doc to know whether you can do this for
more than 10 ports.
You can also do this for "applications", which seems odd to me,
except that perhaps for these applications, there are default ports
(e.g., dns, email, ftp).
