Virtual machines with externally-imposed firewall rules can help with = that. You could even use a non-networked VM solely for building, and = handle the network interaction (getting sources, reporting results) on = the host.

I'd been meaning to look into buildbot, though mostly related to stuff I = was doing at a job I'm not at any more... if it's easy enough to set up = (including firewalling), I might be able to contribute a buildslave = virtual machine at some point.
