One that I use on some machines is ippl (IP protocols logger).  It will
detect half-open scans (SYN) but not some of the more sophisticated
scans.  It's main advantage is that it is very configurable in terms of
what it will log.  I don't know if it has been audited though.  There
are other programs that do this sort of thing too if you search
freshmeat.
