The client process, bpcd, is normally run from xinetd/inetd, so you
could restrict access there.  You can also run bpcd as a standalone
process, and it looks like you can restrict it there.  From the bpcd
man page, NBU 5.1:

  -restrict_if host_or_ip
         Available only on UNIX clients and implies -standalone. Spec-
         ifies the local network interface that bpcd will accept  con-
         nections  from.   Default  is  to accept connections from all
         local network interfaces.  You can specify either a host name
         or an IP address.
