Yes, you can do it in a number of ways. With firewalls, in p2p apps,
using specific programs and even in your router. Depending on the
number of IPs you want to block and the flexibility you want to manage
them, one or the other would be indicated.

These two specific programs are widely used by p2p enthusiasts:

Peerguardian

Protowall

They provide lists with millions of chartered anti-p2p IPs. They are
also an interesting layer in your security setup against spyware,
trojans and other crap.
