Uh - since 10.3 dosen't OSX have a built-in firewall ?

It does, but it's turned off by default. It can be activated in the System Preferences - Sharing control panel.

More importantly, Mac OS X doesn't have any unnecessary open ports or services running.

"It does, but it's turned off by default."

Oh - OK ... that makes sense ...
