Im not sure you can only listen on the local net. As the NetBOUI and NetBIOS is not considered routeable, Samba is also considered as such. The only thing is, it now encapsulates all that in TCP which IS routeable. So your best option may be to use iptables to block. Though you should consider the possibility of another samba server acting as a "router" in that someone from an outside net could contact it to perform queries to your server. I am not sure about how it works, but someone once tried to describe the setup to me. Not sure if its true, but sounded plausable knowing how the master browser works.
