Well, from
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2005.11.21.html

"Dynamic IPsec VPN tunnels require the use of ISAKMP (Internet Security
Association and Key Management Protocol), a standard protocol that
provides the framework for establishing, negotiating, modifying, and
deleting security associations. The ISAKMP service listens on UDP port
500 on all the security gateways"

So I guess it has to do with IPsec VPN tunnels.  If you are not using
any VPN tunnels, then nuke it.
