As Wingate is so convenient for hackers wanting to anonymise their
connections (and I've seen it happening a few times) I'd quite like to be
able to refuse connections if the connecting machine is running an
unsecured wingate.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how such a thing could be
implemented under freebsd without modifying the daemons?  It would need to
run on selected ports only.
