No. TCPwrappers is a response mechanism to see where a connection came from,
not a gateway in the middle of a connection between two machines.

What about local services? Can't a tcp wrapper act like a firewall?

No. Not using my definition of a firewall, anyway.

Your work is both good and original.  Unfortunately the parts that are good 
aren't original, and the parts that are original aren't good.
