There is no silver bullet on this topic.

If you really need the list of UDP ports, SNMP or netstat are 
probably the best ways to get it.


I don't disagree on the nmap wrapper issue, if a user, unfamiliar with
nessus uses it on a scan they can easily rob the resources form the
nessus scanner.

As for netstat, snmp, these (hopefully) won't work in most cases
(without really crappy security on the host)

Point is, tcp_wrapper and syn_scan won't give you al list of udp ports.
If someone familiar with nmap scans needs a udp port scan, they will
need to be aware of how to identify all the false positives associated
with many udp scans.
