No. Why would you want to deliberately make it easy to make a port scan work?

If you're a script kiddie, and randomly port scanning boxes, and one comes up 
with loads of wide open ports, and a few comes up with either closed or 
"stealth" ports, which one do you think you're going to try and attack?
