this already exists to some point. In server/connecthand.c:

include "connecthand.h"

/* TODO: these should probably server options */
-#define NEW_USERS_ALLOWED  /* if defined, new users may log in. */
-#define GUESTS_ALLOWED     /* if defined, users can log in as guests */
+#undef NEW_USERS_ALLOWED  /* if defined, new users may log in. */
+#undef GUESTS_ALLOWED     /* if defined, users can log in as guests */

#define GUEST_NAME "guest"

should get you what you want. Unfortunately it requires diving into the
source code to change it, but if there's great interest, you could probably
find someone to make it a configure option.
