If its a "server" and should be always on, you could disable that particular nugget of ACPI (I am assuming you're using acpi for other stuff like thermal zone monitoring etc. Take a peek at your /etc/acpi/events/ directory you should be able to modify some stuff in there to cause the power button event from doing anything. I also suspect there is a way to disable it at the kernel level it would depend on your kernel though I think. If you don't care about any acpi functionality you can pass something like "acpi=off" to your kernel via grub/lilo.
