In 4.x, wrapper support is by default compiled into the basic 
services (telnetd, ftpd, and I don't know what else).  You don't 
need to modify inetd.conf; just edit /etc/hosts.allow

The man pages for this aren't as easy to find as they should be:
man hosts_options    
man hosts_access

If you need to wrap something that isn't wrapped by default, you'll 
need to dig a little deeper.  I suspect it will involve either 
modifying the application to add wrapper support, or installing the 
/usr/ports/security/tcp_wrapper port.
