You can also deny access using your httpd.conf file.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_access.html#deny

<Directory /path/to/doc/root/or/phpbb>
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from evil.microsoft.com
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Allow|Deny also work in .htaccess files.

Or, you could use mod_rewrite to send them elsewhere, like back to
themselves.

Neither of the above would be as effective at reducing your bandwidth
usage as iptables, though.
