    sure, that's ok.
    portsentry open those ports in order to monitor unexpected incoming
    connections,
    and when such a connection occurs, it blocks the source (from which
    intruders may come).
    you can change them in the configuration file.
    it is usually recommended to use snort rather than portsentry under
    freebsd.........
    since i am never a snort user, i have no idea about it.
