If you know the remote IP you can use IPTables to block port 80 expect for that port or ports.

If you only want to authenticate outside users, you could setup a VPN if
you are going to be accessing it from the same machine (like a laptop).
You could use temporary SSH tunneling also, which would give access only
to the machine you are SSHing from.
You might be able to setup a dual HTTP/HTTPS as Judd said and only
require authentication on the HTTPS, then just forward that port. I'm
not sure as I've never tried it.
