Is there anything that YaST does (or any other SuSE configuration methods) that would overwrite my /etc/services file?
Perhaps, if you update the netcfg package.
I looked through it the other day and noticed that most of the ports that I disabled in the past had been enabled again.
/etc/services is a list of officially assigned port numbers, not a list of enabled (i.e., open) ports. You should disable unneeded services by commenting their lines out in /etc/inetd.conf or by not starting the them (START_XXX=no in /etc/rc.config), whichever applies.
