Ever since I got firestarter(the GUI Gnome frontend using iptables)I've been having logs of remote attacks on alot of ports from alot of ips.The only port I left open was X11 and I wanted to know if you close the port can they still open the ports remotely?

That's sort of like asking "If I lock my door from the inside, can burglars still break in?" If they could open those ports remotely there wouldn't be much point to running a firewall, and there'd be nothing you could do about it. So basically "no" is the answer to your question.
