I wonder if you might get some benefit from a couple of simple IPF rules
and a quick portsentry install. 

/etc/ipf.rules

pass in log on interface0 from any to any
pass out log on interface0 from IP to any

with the appropriate startup would give you a good idea of the IP
address the scan is comming from. Whether your DHCP server admin will
tell you who that address is is a different matter.
