Would I even need those ports enabled at all? This system is a dedicated
Citrix server. I do have Web Interface, but the web portion is on a
different server.

Well, if its someone logging in via Citrix this line:

Logon Process:  NtLmSsp

Would be:
Logon Process:  User32  

And 
Authentication Package: NTLM

Would be:
Authentication Package: negotiate

And workstation name would be the citrix server.

In fact, given the NTLM, either:
A) you are opening NetBT from that citrix server to the world or
B) somebody from inside your network is trying to connect to resources
on
that particular server using unregistered workstations in random
domains.

I'd run a sniffer on the citrix server server looking at ports 135-137,
139,
and 445.
