you could always just do it yourself and take a short section of airline and loop it to block off unused sections.

x2.

If you have an odd number of unused ports, for the final one you could knot a piece of airline to plug it.

Either that, or use one of those in line valves attached to the end of a small piece of air line.

The loops made out of air lines is the best idea... but if you really want plugs, go to an auto parts store and look for vacuum line plugs.

It won't look "pretty" but the best and cheapest "sugessestion" would be the use of air lines.

Or you could use a piece of tubing and put a check valve on backwards.

gorilla glue a piece of airline tubing, make sure you put a little on the open end of the air line, basically you are making a cap? Thats what i did before i went closed loop and it worked perfect
