If you want to block your computer from sharing your iTunes music, just 
go to iTunes Preferences>Sharing and uncheck all boxes. Its not 
necessary to disable ports.

If you insist, you can go to System Preferences>Sharing and choose the 
Firewall tab. Scroll through the list until you find iTunes music 
sharing and make sure that box is *not* checked either. That disables 
the port on your software firewall.

Your IT admin would have to close the Port 3689 for your LAN, but that 
would seem highly redundant after the settings described above.
